EVs can only charge that fast with a special high-power line or a dump pack.
You can get at most 1440W from a 120V 15A outlet (80% max allowable according to NEC) or 5760W from 240V 30A. No matter what magical battery technology you have, you can't charge faster if you don't have a bigger input. You can get range/hour of charging by dividing the power by the wh/mi; the Nissan is probably 100-200wh/mi, so 7-14mi/hr from 120 or 28-56mi/hr from 240V
