The source I was reading said that to keep the rates low, many Spanish homes have a total capacity of just 3.3kW! ( You'd have to upgrade a 3.3kW home to at least 4.4kW and more likely 6.6kW to even charge your older Leaf at home, never mind a newer one with a faster charger.
If you stuck with the L1 charger that comes with the Leaf it only draws 2.88 kW at 240 volts. This will fully charge a Leaf overnight (22 kWh in 8 hours)
Speaking as somebody who has charged at 1.4 kW for over a year and a half, L1 charging can meet almost all of your needs as long as you plug in whenever you are parked.
