Hi Carlos,

Yes, 220v is the same as 240v -- just like we can refer to 110v as 115v or 120v. So, with 220-240v it takes ~8 hours to charge the Leaf. Hopefully, we get some of these fast charging 3-phase charging stations, too.

The range test (called US LA4 mode) is apparently mostly "low" speed. and we'll have to wait to hear how it does in the "real world". Hopefully they have designed the coasting and regenerative braking a little more elegantly than the Mini E.
