Level 1 charging speeds?

How fast is the L1 supposed to be? I just watched a YouTube video about L1 charging and they say in NA the theoretical max is 1.8KW. In the HD app it's reporting:
Amps 4
Volts 255
So is that just 1KW? 4x255=1020.
If the ELW stock cable can pull 12 amps why is the app reporting just 4? I'm confused please help me understand this. Thanks.

Huh I should test this with the L2 for my dads leaf. What would be the best way to get useful data? Time vs percent seems silly? But maybe that is all we have?
try to get a 0-100 time test with the L2 vs the provided cable. i’ve found it’s a couple hours faster.
I don't think I am gonna play with 0 for this testing. I could try and get to say 50 then time for 2 hours or something. I guess a 20% difference should show up on a smallish charge.

1 hour L2 61-69% GrizzlE 10kWr L2 direct circuit
1 hour L1 69-76% Stock charger shared 30AM circuit with a fridge plugged in to it as well.
Similar ambient temp.
So ~1-2% per hour difference. Which over 11 hours is ~15%?
