Our plug in hybrid pacifica charges about 12 hours on 120 volt for a full charge. We haven't bothered to add a 240v charger yet. Ours only runs about 30 miles on a charge and the rhetoric gas V6 kicks in. We usually just make one trip to town a day so we do the slow overnight 120v still. If it had a bigger battery or we used it more we'd have to have a 240 charger.
I have a 7.6 K watt solar system that was already a bit smaller than we needed vefore the van. With the van we get a power bill ever month now because our solar system just isn't large enough. I figure it cuts about $100 a month off of our bill on average. I wish I had at least a 10kwatt solar system. Our old hot tub uses some power.
