Tesla Roadster: charging up
The Roadster can be charged via an ordinary electric socket, although it could take from five hours to a day, said an engineer at the company. To address that problem, the company will install chargers at the homes of owners, which will cut the charging time down to about three hours. Tesla is also working with hotels and gas stations in California to set up high-energy fueling stations.
