If we wanted to recharge this from 110V domestic service we would need to pull 10,800,000/110 = 96,000 amps. Most houses are set up with a 200amp supply so we already have a bit problem. The best case scenario would be a 20 amp circuit driven by a 120V supply and in this case we can pull 20 * 120 = 2400 or 2.4KW.
