Must be a more recent thing, then. Our 2011 has 15A and that's it. Do you know if it actually charges at a faster rate on 40A, or is it just a "cheater" to use in a pinch? Because I'd be tempted to seek out a more recent charger if it would actually charge faster.

My 2013 Tesla Model S charges at 240V 40A (or sometimes 35A) with the plug-in adapter. Maybe you're talking about a different car?

Sorry, our wires are crossed. I was referring to the Nissan Leaf. OP said they couldn't afford a Tesla, and they were hoping for a cheaper Leaf, but they still needed a charging station. I was suggesting buying a used Leaf, and using the "emergency" charger that only offers 110V/15A. Apologies for the confusion.
