    it depends on how far you have driven, and what type of charging that is available. If it's just a 120v outlet and you've driven 50% of your ev range it could be 4-8hrs or if it's 240 it could be 2-4hrs. If it's a quick charge then 10-15 minutes.

    Who said you had to stand by the car like pumping fuel at a gas station?

    you plug it in, go shop and come out later.
