Wow... FIVE days to charge on a 120 outlet?? I knew they took awhile, but not that long. Then they switched to the 50amp, and the charging time dropped to 14 hours... yikes, still I did not know they took that long.
For some reason I thought a 120 outlet would be like an overnight charge, not 5 days.
My wife's electric car will charge overnight. But then again it's a PIHB and only has a 30 mile range. I believe it charges around 1.25kwh/hour. In any event she plugs it in when she gets home from work and it's at 100% charge when she gets up to go to work the next morning. This is on a typical 110 circuit.
AND THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT AN EV IS GOOD FOR.
Inner city/urban commuter. Beyond that they are useless to all but a hand full who are willing to mold their lives around charging the car for the next few miles.
