Chademo is much more widespread but only used by Nissan, Kia, and Mitsubishi, and supplies up to 50kW. CCS is used by the Germans and is seeing slow adoption by US manufacturers, but allows up to about 100kW power. We'll see who wins.
Both CCS and CHAdeMO are designed for 200 amps, and both are currently limited to 125 amps.
Power is a function of battery voltage multiplied by amperage.
The LEAF battery maximum is 395 volts, therefore:
125 * 395 = 49.4kW
200 * 395 = 79.0kW
The "100kW" rate is only possible with a car with a 500 volt battery, of which there are none. Even Tesla is a maximum of 403 volts, and every other car is lower.

WORLDWIDE DC Charging Standards:
DC fast charging system standards IEC 61851-23 gives the worldwide requirements for "DC chargers" and provides the general requirements for the control communication between a DC fast charger and an EV.
IEC 62851-24 defines digital communication between a DC fast charger and an EV.
Worldwide "Quick Charging" standards:
1) CHAdeMO (IEC System A)
2) GB/T (IEC System B)
3) SAE CCS COMBO1 (IEC System C)
4) Menekkes CCS COMBO2 (IEC System C)
5) Supercharger (Tesla only, not recognized by IEC, uses different plug in Europe than the plug used in North America and Japan)
Neither GB/T nor Menekkes CCS-Combo2 are offered outside of their home markets of China and Europe respectively. Chameleon is Europe only, anywhere a public 3 phase AC outlet is available (the operator must use their own charge cord).
USA Quick Charge data, sometimes colloquially referred to as "DC" or "L3"

1) CHAdeMO - 5467 Worldwide (6 March 2015)
124 new CHAdeMO chargers added in USA between 9 Jan 2015 and 6 March 2015:
Adding about 2-3 per day in the USA, and 8 per day worldwide !!!
