This is great news for Leafers!
The Japanese level 3 charging standard is ~400V DC using a system developed by Tokyo Electric Power (TEPCO). TEPCO, Nissan, and other companies formed the CHAdeMO organization to make the TEPCO system the world-wide level 3 quick charge standard. One of the members of CHAdeMO is US company Aker Wade Power Technologies - and they've joined with Coulomb Technologies and their ChargePoint network to provide level 1, 2, and 3 charging.
