Approximately 8 hours in a standard 120V outlet, less than 3 hours in a 240V outlet.

Also something that I hadn't heard before:
Quote:
According to former GM Vice Chairman Bob Lutz, the Volt will use its GPS system to determine how long to run that engine. "The car will know how far you are from home," Lutz told reporters last September, "and it will only run the gas engine long enough to give you enough charge to get you home where you can actually plug it into the wall outlet. So the car will be smart enough to know where its home base is."
