If you opt for the DC Fast Charge option, and (this is the big one) can find a DC Fast charger, in a half hour, you'd have almost a full charge from empty. They claim 80% in 20-minutes. It is likely that fast chargers will not be free, as some of the 3-hour chargers are now. As more electric vehicles show up, there will be more market for people to put in chargers, either to entice customers to come and stay for awhile, or as a business for commuters to reliably recharge so they can make it home. And, if you were going to be at work the full 8-hours or so, a standard wall plug may restore your vehicle to full charge depending on how far you drove to get there. And, it's really nice to be able to precondition it before you actually get in the vehicle while on external power...that leaves the entire battery charge for your trip home, not to make the car warm or cooler.
