4 miles per hour? How slow are these chargers?
The (last gen) Nissan Leaf's EPA rating is 30 kWh/100 mi combined, it has a range of 84 miles, and a battery size of 24kwh. 30kWh / 100mi is 300 watt hours per mile, which means the car is charging at... 300 watts on what is probably a 15 amp breaker? You could easily do 5x that.
