In the UK it’s 13A/230V, though some countries specify 10A. The amperage refers to peak draw, though. For continuous draw you typically get 80% of peak. So for example my 48A/240v charger requires a 60A breaker and 12A/120V continuous draw requires a 15A breaker. Also, since the input voltage must be converted to 480V (or more) there are greater conversion losses for 120V than 240V so the naive wattage calculation is a little misleading: less power reaches the battery in lower-voltage circuits.
