There is something I don't understand. Perhaps someone can help me out?

Today I have used almost 48 kWh. I charge at 6 kW and the car says it needs 10.5 hours to charge to 90%. I always charge to 90% so when I started my day today it was also on 90%.

If I used 48 kWh and I charge at 6 kW why does it need 10.5 hours and not 48/6 is 8 hours to charge? Are there so many losses during charging or am I missing something?
