Let's go metric with 2000 km. The 2021 Kona EV has a range of about 500 km. The level 2 charger at my house takes 9 hours to recharge from empty (i.e., overnight). That's 1.5 days to fully charge a battery offering a 2000 km range, in theory, which is half your estimate. A DC fast charger can recharge 400 km in 50 minutes (80% capacity), equivalent to 4 hours for 2000 km. Meaning those batteries will probably take closer to 5 hours to fully recharge when using the fastest chargers available today.

The article makes no mention of charging time, which would lead me to believe it's barely identical and most likely worse than current rates.
