"Fast Charge", one 13 Amp for a "Standard Charge", and one branded by
Nissan, with a hefty proprietary looking connector

These look like they could be quite 'exciting' if anything untoward
happened during charging ... the charge station has to handshake with
the car's ECU before it will dish out the juice (500V DC @ 125A)

Even the low charge (13a) is computer controlled. There are five pins
in the socket on the car and a box in the middle of the charge lead.
