Yes, the charger is not big or heavy. There is a cubby hole for it under a hatch in the floor of the boot.

It plugs straight in to a standard 13a socket and charges fully in about 5 hours at a cost of about £1 dependent on tariff. You can program it (from the car console or remotely from an iPad/iPhone app) to come on in the middle of the night to charge at cheapest rate. A full battery is good for up to about a 28 mile pure electric range at up to 70 mph (Mitsubishi claim 32.5 but I haven't managed that). You can also buy an optional 16a quick charger that gives a full charge in about 3 hours. But you'd need to get a 16a socket fitted. I think there is a government grant available to get one fitted free of charge. I haven't bothered.
