For the 120vac, you just plug it into an existing (preferably 20A) receptacle...about 8-hours for full charge from min. Cost, probably nothing.

For 240vac, similar to a dryer, you need a special charging box wired to it, about 3-hours. Cost, depends, but with permit and wiring and hardware, around $1500.

For high voltage DC, you need the option in the car ($700), AND power you almost certainly won't have in a residential setting. 20-minutes to about 80%, a couple of hours to finish topping it off, but you can get near in 30-minutes. Cost, if you had the power, maybe $30K or so.

These are all from nearly depleated...less time for a part charge.
