How to do DC Charging: Suzuki eVitara  20% battery, evening drive home, and a choice: charge at home for about 8 hours (and get up at 3 AM to switch it off), or try the DC fast charger at a Nexa showroom. I tried Nexa DC for the first time with my Suzuki eVitara. My battery went from 23% to 80% in about 39 minutes and the bill was ₹716 . Here's exactly how to start a session, what it cost compared with home charging and petrol, and the 4 things to know before your first visit.

The e Vitara uses an LFP battery, and the rules are different. Here's why, and how I actually charge mine. Know your battery: why LFP changes the rules The e Vitara comes with an LFP (lithium iron phosphate) battery in two sizes: 49 kWh and 61 kWh.
