How long does it take to charge Charley? I have heard anywhere from 20 to 120 minutes depending on how low the battery is and the kW rating of the charger. Can you imagine waiting that long to charge your vehicle if you are in cue waiting to hook up? I would also be interesting to know how much battery capacity drops as a function of the load being towed.

I think right now EV's make sense if you can charge at home all the time and use them around town. For long trips or living out in the sticks you better have a plan.
