Plus installation. An empty Volt pack will take 10 hours to fully recharge; an empty LEAF about 20 hours. Recharge time will usually be much less than what it takes to go from empty to full. My installation was pretty simple, so it cost me nothing. Need it cost this much? Until the next morning or just an hour or two?

Some housekeeping The 7kW slow charger hasn’t been installed in my society due to some complications that maybe covered in a separate post. I have been on exactly one ICE (dinasour juice* consuming Internal Combustion Engine vehicles) roadtrip prior to this. Gotta love the free and the fast juice at MG’s Fortum Chargers.

The new plug-in vehicle will be able to exceed highway speed limits, go 100 miles on a charge and recharge in four to eight hours using a 220-volt line, similar to those for clothes dryers, said Mark Perry, director of product planning for Nissan North America. We will take a look at the products and see how they meet our business needs."

Newly installed CEO Fritz Henderson argues that pioneering projects like the Volt typically lose money until the technology catches on. The four-door sedan will deliver 40 miles on a charge; a small gasoline engine will recharge the battery as it approaches depletion, extending its range by as much as 200 miles.
