If we wanted to recharge this from 110V domestic service we would need to pull 10,800,000/110 = 96,000 amps. I like to use the example of someone driving from Los Angeles to Las Vegas. A vehicle with a 200 mile range like the Tesla Roadster would easily be able to do the trip with one recharge.

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. Considering how much GM plugs we do 80% of our driving in the city, those highway miles dont get much use. The car is expected to cost around $40,000.
