and you can charge it from any outlet, without ever stopping for gas. Duh. Same for diesel and air cars.
How long does it take to recharge from a 110 VAC, 20A outlet?

Hm. 45 minute QuickCharge. That’s a long refueling stop.

I was wondering the same thing. I read that the Tesla has a 248-hp motor. Assume it takes 5 hours to travel 300 miles. So it would use 248hp x 746 watts/hp x 5 hours = 925,040 watt hours. 110VAC @ 20A = 2200 watts. 925,040 watt hours/2200 watts = 420.47 hours or 17.52 days.
