Looks like Chargepoint DOES have a charging station that includes both 120V AND 240V charging. LINK

These stations supply 240V and 30 amps. They call that level two charging.

Nissan says that the car will take a full charge in 8 hours through the onboard 3.3KwH charger.

So, if the battery is half run down, it would be four hours.

Also, if the car is designed for a 100 mile range, and they say it recharges in 8 hours, you can ballpark calculate how many miles you can go per hour of charging. Divide 100 miles by 8 hours, and you get 12.5. So, if you are the movie theater for two hours, and charge while you are there, you can go another 25 miles after that.
