One of the answers to FAQ sounds a little presumptuous. The question is "How long does it take to recharge?" Which to me is a fair question. Part of the answer is:

However, an electric car is a bit like a cell phone: it does not matter how long it takes to charge as long as a charge lasts all day. You plug it in when you get home, and unplug it when you leave in the morning.
There have been days where I have put 400 km on my car and still stayed within the city. Or what if I want to take a trip to Banff for the day?

It is a fair question, and it is quite possible that somebody might want to recharge it during the day.

I still say the future of the electric car is to have easily replacable battery packs, and you would pull into a "gas station" and swap your batteries on the fly. You really wouldn't own the batteries in your car.
