I have not been able to find what I am looking for. Does anyone have a Table that should charge time length buy the % of battery for each different Amp used.
Looking for a table that should 6-40amps and how long it will take to charge if respective battery %.
 
No Leaf can charge at 40A. The only 40A cars have Tesla chargers. A current SV or SL will take only 27.5A even if 40A is available.
 
It would be easy for you to make your own chart, if you know the charger that is built into your Leaf. Most of the newer Leafs got a 6kw charger, whereas all 2011- 2012, and most newer S models came with a 3.3kW charger, unless they bought the optional charging package. Given that we have access to about 22 kWh of battery pack capacity, you simply divide the kWh of the pack that you need to charge by the charging rate to get the number of hours. All of this assumes 240 VAC charging, and an EVSE capable of putting out the full amperage your charging can take. So, a new 2015 Leaf SL with the 6.0kW charger, 100% battery health, with a 50% discharged battery would take 11/6, or 1.83 hours, to fully charge.

It'll take longer. Leaf will charge at full power until it hits a taper phase. In the last hour or so (somewhere above 95% on the SoC display, I believe), the charging rate falls a lot and then it hits a bounce phase.
