Charging at home was very simple. The Ford Energi comes with a long cord to plug into a standard 110V outlet. It takes quite a while to charge in a normal outlet and the outlet needs to be used exclusively for the car (when in use). I usually charged overnight. You can have a special 240V charging outlet installed at your home for easy charging. These outlets will charge your car faster, as will the special charging stations that you see at local stores.
