It charges overnight while you sleep so it's full when you're ready to leave in the AM. The Tesla cars will go upwards of 300 miles per charge. At 30k per year, 5 days a week, that's 115 miles. You would only have to charge it every other night. With the charge estimator on Tesla's website, it takes 3H 10M to recharged the vehicle every night. 6H 40M if you charge every other night.
