I can just about refill the full 40 mile range over night, by plugging in when I come home around 5PM and unplugging around 8AM, when charging at 8A. I guess the math is: the battery is 18kwh and charging at 120V for 15 hours at 8 A is ~14kwh.

thats awesome. i put a call into our local dealership, and sounds like the wait time for the one i'd like is still >1 year :(
