Using info from their site on battery capacity and motor model:
Recharge time would depend the charger Level 1 (110v) 16 hours or Level 2 (220v) 3 1/4 hours.

Without knowing the specific vehicle and driving conditions, a range of roughly 75 to 130 miles is a reasonable estimate for a car with a 25.7 kWh battery and a Hyper 9 motor.

A new Tesla 3 is $35,000 with 350 mile range and 125 mph top speed. If you want an electric car sell your A for $10,000 add that to the conversion price and get a new Tesla. Did I mention it also has AC, power steering and a radio?

It's a sad commentary of the times that Model A people will embrace the modification of a Model A to electric but not a newer gas engine swap.
