The stock game is way off.
Submerged range is for sure:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Type_VII_submarine
150-170km at 4 knots (with my tweaks it is 160), not upgraded motorman in TWOS gives some 80km with 10+ hours recharge, upgraded motorman gives 110 with some 12+ hours of charge (i tested it cant remember the point is that is is too way off).
For the recharge time I could only find data for similar submarines (british) the 8-9 hours.
On page 133 of this book:

The ampers are given and a smarter guy then me calculated the recharge time from the capacity of the batteries and the charge ampers or power. His numbers are: 7-78 hours fast charge and 11.67 hours normal charge. Here:

From operational perspective being able to cruise a full day (16 hours at 4 knots) than fully recharge at night (in 8 hours) makes a perfect sense.
