Wait till you get your electric bill. The 240v charging station is an extra $2500. Ever run a 240v welder? My wife freaks when she gets the electric bill if I use it much.

Charger costs $495. See link. It may cost more if you are electrically challenged and need to hire an electrician to install. See Article:
Charger

At $3.00/gal and using $0.11/kWh, the volt costs about 1/6 as much as gasoline to drive in the Charge Depletion mode. Adjust numbers as necessary.
