In my opinion, I think it's more a matter of endurance. I mean, if all of Kizaru's kicks were at the speed of light no kind of "charge" should be necessary. Charging time implies he is adding more photons to the equation rather than upping up the speed. And I think we all know that no one should be able to survive a kick at the full speed of light. Much less with their bodies intact enough to recover. Though it could be possible that he has to concentrate before he can attain such a speed. And that concentration is the "charge" so-to-speak.

The reason I say it's a matter of endurance, because the characteristics of the characters make it seem so. Basil seems like the kind of guy who is rarely ever hurt for real. More likely than not, he has avoided taking any real damage through the utilization of his Devil Fruit abilitiy. Thus, his level of endurance will be far below the likes of X Drake and Apoo. Both of whom don't have that advantage and have probably been in a lot of brawls.
