It would be plug and play.

This guy does a really nice charging mod for the Leaf.

Yes. And those Bursa chargers are now cheaper on eBay. If I did add another Leaf battery in the trunk (or put that +600lbs of battery on a trailer) I could use a couple of these chargers to charge up 48kWh's in the normal up-to-4-hours time.
One thing I've noticed is that after 80%, the charging becomes slow. I can charge up from 30% to 80% in just a couple of hours, but then from 80% to 100% in another couple of hours. So the idea of having more level 2 charging stations around would make it faster to just charge up to 80% more or less quickly and then keep going instead of having to charge up to 100% and still not probably make it to the next station.
