Charging time: In the US, houses commonly have from the grid 100 A at 230 V. So, that is 100 x 230 = 23,000 W (Watts) or 23 KW (kilowatts). For an electric car with a 75 KWh battery, the charging time using all the house power would be 75 / 23 = 3.26 hours. Maybe the house needs also to use an electric stove, electric clothes dryer, air conditioning, a water pump, a microwave oven, some lights, etc. so wants to use only half the house power for the car charging in which case the charging time would be 75 / (23 / 2) = 6.52 hours. From a Google search, supposedly at https://www.tesla.com/models https://www.tesla.com/models is "With unparalleled performance delivered through Tesla's unique, all-electric .... will achieve the maximum charge rate of 11.5 kW for 75 kWh configured vehicles." Then the minimum charging time would be 75 / 11.5 = 6.52 hours. So, net, for an electric car, I'd be concerned about charging time. With a gasoline powered car, can fill up in a few minutes.
