gurgled happily, sounding much like they were
saying:

If the car is charging for 12 hours, you won't even need a full 13A
supply, so you are talking complete and utter rubbish.

Hmm.

13A * 240V = 3KW

230v nominal, but that does work out to 3kW.

3KW for 12 hours input assuming no loses is the same as 36KW (about
50hp) output for 1 hour.

Call me cynical but....

The Leaf's battery is reckoned to be 25kWh - either they've come up with
some amazingly hyper-efficient charging or it's going to be very, very
tight indeed...
