What's the average recharging time to go from a very low to no charge battery to that 80 mile capable range? And did you have to install special charging devices in your home to do this? TIA.

I use a normal 110 plug in the garage and the stock charging cord that came with the car. It takes overnight to charge the car using 110v. That is really slow if you're in a hurry, but most of the time I just plug it in after dinner and then it is fully charged and ready to go in the morning.
If you want faster charging you can buy a 220V charger from the Leaf dealer (or on-line) and then use a dryer plug. The 220V charger cable is about $500 so I never bothered buying one. I don't have a 220V plug in my garage but I have them in the shop. I just never needed a quicker charging time so I never bothered to make the investment.
