Depends on what you consider low and the type of charger you're using (there are three) - in the USA, home line voltage - about 8-hours from 'empty'; with a 240-vac (electric dryer type circuit) and charging box, about 3-hours; with a commercial (unlikely to get one of these for your home) DC-Fast charge, about 20-minutes to 80%, then it switches to more of a trickle charger to top it off, so it depends. It comes with a cord you can plug into a standard 15A electrical plug in the USA, and, if you want the DCFC option ability, you have to order it with the car. There aren't many of those around but many more are promised in the next year.
