Q: "How long does it take to charge"
A: "A few seconds, as I plug in at night before I go to bed, and always wake up with a full car."
( People tend to like that idea. )
Q: "How much range does it have"
A: "Enough for my daily routine, but I can rent a hybrid if I need to go on a long road trip."
( If I had Model S, then "Supercharger network" might be a better answer. )
( Basically trying to give a specific number on range starts a needless debate, as the better answer is usually "works for me." )

A: "Tesla P85D can go 155MPH!" ... "Also, any production EV can break the speed limit and merge onto freeways just fine."
Q: "How much of your electricity is coming from burning coal?"
A: "I have enough solar panels on my house roof to power all my driving, so none..."
