"The previous range was 107 miles, which could do most daily commutes, but would be on the edge if additional driving was need. This was compounded by the fact that a full charge on a standard 110v outlet took 35 hours."

The charging rate at 120V is limited to 12A, so that's a 120V x 12A = 1.44 kW rate. In reality, it's slightly lower due to losses. The useable capacity of a 2017 is about 28 kWh, so 28 kWh/1.44 kW = 19.4 hours for a full charge from dead flat.

Most of the time, owners would charge from 20% to around 80% though, so more like 12 hours overnight charging. Having said that, I would guess that 90% of owners have an L2 home charger installed.
