From a depleted battery, it takes about 7 hours to fully charge a Nissan Leaf using the standard 240v home charging station. If using a 110v electric outlet, this would take approximately 20 hours. Quick-charging stations, which are currently more common in Europe, are starting to pop up in the US. Using a 480v line, it is able to give a full charge in just 30 minutes. Nissan began accepting orders for the 2012 Leaf in December.
In that case, the DC station is just dumping energy very quickly into the battery and kind of bypasses the on-board charger. You could get a Nissan LEAF battery from 0-80% full in about 25 minutes at a DC fast charging station. The Volt and Coda don't have DC fast charging capability.
