This is typical of almost all EV's.

110 is basically a charging method for someone that is only using the car as a relatively short drive commuter car.

To be viable for the majority of the public, a 220 volt source for charging is required, but still not optimal.

480V DC charging is what is required for more reasonable charge times.
