I miscommunicated context. The 40 miles in 18 hours is the at-home charging. I wanted to emphasize how restrictive that charging window is.


That's also for just a standard 110v outlet. Works fine for me with a ~25 mile round trip commute.

And that's usually not charging from 0 to 40 miles of range. The car's battery starts each morning at 90% (a limit set in the car), and ends the day at 90% minus 25 miles. So even though it's only charging 25 miles each night (which doesn't take all night), it's ready to go 300 miles whenever I need to.
