I have also seen people advertising EVs on eBay who claim 100 mile range from a one hour charge using a standard 110V outlet. Chrysler used this for their EPIC Minivan and could charge at a rate of about one mile per minute. To sum up, you are never going to be able to charge your EV in seconds from a standard 110V 15amp receptacle.

Standardization of battery shape and chemistry is another consideration that gives one pause. Also, until standardization of connectors becomes fully implemented, EV owners may have to carry an assortment of adapters to be able to plug in to chargers from different suppliers. One of the main drawbacks to charge stations is speed.
