How long does it take to charge roughly from a public point.

Depends on the type..

80% charge in 1hr is common for cars with a 24kWhr battery.
80% charge in 30 minutes are about but not every car can use them as
they are high voltage DC and you need a special charger in the car.

The cheapest reasonable new electric car (eZoe) has a range of about 100
miles and can be bought for about £18k or about £20k with the fast DC
charger.

The range is less with the fast DC option due to the extra weight.

Also worth noting that on many of the cars even the fast charging lead
is an "extra"... IIRC Nissan wanted over £400 for one of theirs.
