    On my normal outlet at home or work - it can take 20 hours to charge a full drained leaf.

Which is why a big part of Tesla's mission is installing fast charging stations across the US and elsewhere and sharing the patented tech with other companies to help drive a standard model for charging rather than many disparate models that would fail on their own.

When you think about it, after driving ~200 (very doable in a Tesla) miles you're gonna want to take a break for 20-30 minutes anyway. Rather than pumping gas, you plug in and stretch your legs etc. It's totally entering the realm of possibility now even for the most skeptical of opponents.
