There are two Chademo Charging stations near my home (plus one level 2) and recently I saw both a Leaf and an i3 pull into the parking slots and plug in, so I sauntered over and chatted with one of the owners. Both vehicles were charging away at close to 400V and 100Amp each, the guy was amazed that his vehicle was gobbling up as much power as his entire home connection would allow (typical 240V 200A). I still do not understand why AAA chose the DynaGen Chademo chargers for the tow trucks with EV recharge capability that can only deliver 30A Even though this is double what an L2 can typically supply (400V 30A is max 12kW) this is still a far cry from fast charging. Anyway, not my decision.

The charger is actually off board. The ones I have used have typically been 50kW. There was one in the 40kW range I used that actually displayed voltage and current. For my Kia Soul EV+ it was putting out just under 400VDC at 100A for the majority of the charging. Naturally the voltage started out lower and increased throughout the charging cycle.
