Install a 48 amp plug off a 60 amp garage sub-panel, and run a 110 feet of 100 amp feeder from the main breaker on the other end of the house. This will charge at 44 mph.

22 mph will recharge 154 miles per day during the 7 evening hours when my electricity is cheap. Given I expect running a feed around the house to be expensive, I might just go with the slower charging.
How far is your commute into the city? If you do less than 150/day, that essentially means it will always be fully charged in the morning, right? Even if you do more than 150 on a weekend day, you'll recover over the course of the week.
