No what I say is this, you can charge at
********TWO HUNDRED AND FOURTY VOLTS**********
At 12amps on the included charger. Yes the "110v charger" charges at 240 volts! Really. I know, I doubted it too but it does. That doubles you to 8 miles per hour.
Say you get home from work at 7pm, and leave for work at 7am, that is 96 miles per night. That would work out fine for a 110 mile commute. Total out of pocket less than $100 for the prong adapter cord, assuming you have the electric clothes dryer outlet.
My parents put in a 240v outlet, I think it was $1000 total to have an electrician do it right. Theirs needed to be in just about the worst place on the property relative to the source.
