The leaf and Volt charge via a J1772 plug, this plug allows level one and level two charging, 120v outlets are level one charging, 240v is level 2 charging, level 3 charging is the quick, ~30 minute DC charging, for this DC charging there is another "standard" plug, but last I read they were talking about combining the two standard plugs in to a single more complex plug, this might happen as soon as 2013 or about the time that the mid west will start seeing Nissan Leaf's at dealerships, so even if Kwik Trip did install "real" charging stations they could vary well be out of date before they were ever used.
Electric scooters and bicycles are more and more common and they also work well with 120v outlets for charging.
