Electric Scooter Range

how long does it take to charge a 500 Watt 24V DC battery?

I thinking about purchasing an electric scooter. The thing is though the one I'm looking at has a range of 8 miles to every full charge. Well, I live about 8 miles away from my job. So my thought is to charge the scooter while i'm working, which is no problem with my employer. So my question is can i get a full charge in less than eight hours?

Your spec doesn't have enough information to calculate this. I assume you mean a 500 watt-hour battery? Watt is just a power rating whereas watt-hours is an energy capacity rating. Assuming it's 500 watt hours, it could theoretically be charged in 15 minutes (quarter hour) since 2000 watts is the max load of a typical house circuit on a 20A fuse. Of course that assumes you have a charger that is maxed out in size and 100% efficient. That's unlikely to be the case. You can read the watt rating on the charger itself to get an estimate. For example, if it says 500 watt charger (pretty big) then you can do it in one hour if the charging system is 100% efficient. In any case, manufacturers never make you play these games. The marketing literature for your scooter will almost certainly tell you the charge time under typical conditions.
