I had to call BS on that one, but yes, IF you use a common, 15 amp, 110v outlet to charge the car, it could take even MORE than 32 hours. Thank goodness no one would think of doing so, except maybe in an emergency. That same 15a service won't even do for my circular saw. I can only use it on 20a services. If you use an easily installed 220v, 70 amp service, a full charge takes a couple of hours...
