In America and other countries with 110v mains, you might have a point. In the UK, my Ampera charges to full in 4 hours.

In US, many houses have 240v outlets in addition to 110v, for high-energy devices like stoves and dryers and large washing machines.

In America, most houses have some 220, intended for a clothes dryer and perhaps an oven or air conditioning.

For a Tesla, a standard 110v circuit charges at 3.5 mph; 220 is 2x or 4x depending on the amperage of the circuit.
