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.
Actually Ben, looking at your link it looks like they are ALL level II stations... Ie the J1772 plug that fit's the Leaf gives Level II power and the Level I is a standard plug... Ie they should be usable for all EV's even homebrew... Not as fast as using the 240V power, but just the same...
