In my case, I use the 120V charger as my only home charging solution. Unfortunately, I do not have access to a charger (free or otherwise) at work.

The 120V charger is indeed pretty slow - it can only provide about 4 or 5 miles of range per hour. So, if you figure about 12 hours/day on the charger typically, I get about 50 to 60 miles per night. That has proven to be plenty for me.
