Just an observation:
40A x 220v = 8.8 kWh, and
50A x 220v = 11.0, with either one
charging the LEAF's 24 kWh in UNDER 3 hours.
Thus, these uses would normally not be considered "continuous" loads,
technically allowing full use of a 40A (or 50A) breaker.
But, since you MIGHT be charging a larger battery, or one car right after another, the EVSEs are all considered "continuous" loads, no matter how they actually get used.
