[The Model S will have a range of up to 300 miles and take about 45 minutes to charge]

Why do I just get the itchy feeling that that is too many amps to pull in 45 minutes through a 110 volt wall socket? Heck, you can only get one car battery to charge fully in an hour using a charger. So doing a whole bank in 45 minutes is cooking.

The 45 minute charge is on a dedicated 300 amp circuit.
