When parked in summer sun, add roof glass solar panels.
For everything else there will be future super charge stations & soon. GM'* working on it.
Yeah, I think they all do regenerative braking. They'd be crazy not to in the range wars.

Regenerative charging was a thing with the Volt and actually a very usable feature. There were a slew of good ideas that can be derived from the Volt actually. Technology and time can only make it better.

Don't forget the EV-1 , it proved all of these concepts in mass production before all of the rest of them. They even made a bunch with NiMH batteries.
