You can estimate the 'charging MPH' for a 120v 15a outlet. Or any outlet.
The max amps is 80% of the nominal. Power: 120v x 15a x 0.8=1.44 kW.
You just need to know the pack size (kWh) and (real world) range for that
pack (miles). That is enough to let you calculate the Wh/mile.
60 kWh/240 miles
Factory EVSEs can be expected to serve the lowest common denominator when

Are these cells still available? How big is each cell physically?
I have an inverter charger that can handle lithium...and needs batteries.
Any idea on what their capacity looked like when you took them out of the
vehicle? Asked differently...how was your range at the end vs when newly
installed
As for electric airplane flight endurance... we have already seen small
conventional type aircraft with 1 hour endurance, and experimental type
aircraft (100% solar+battery) with multiple day endurance with transpacific and
transatlantic flights.

That sounds like a plausible scenario.
If the car were a Prius Gen 3 put in park, I think the behavior without a key
fob is it will stay running but will not allow you to shift out of P. If
already in D/drive, the fob is not needed (however the car will warn you) until
the car is put back in P.
Tesla does load balancing and load limiting at its superchargers. Although most
of their stations are rated at 120, 135, or 145 kW, they usually deliver less
based on these factors:
-utility ordered power limits. Drivers see this when their low SoC cars start
out with high kW and in under a min
I guess that's a good development. Makes one go hmmm when you think about past
claims about the GM EV1 (and also EVs in general) being impossible to make
profitably. Sunk costs and ongoing R&D costs can be manageable when you look at
them with the right scale.

How about we put solar cells on the road surface and either conductively or
inductively transfer the energy to the car? :)
No wind problems this way. No large trailers needed either.
It would have localized shading by snow and rush hour, though, amongst other
issues pointed out elsewhere for so
Small lightly loaded trailers with little wind resistance can add 50-80
Wh/mile. Taller/heavier trailers can double vehicle energy consumption.
