I only use 110V to charge my Leaf every night. A good 7-8 hrs of charging every night is more then enough for my daily commute and evening travels to run errands.

Curious how many ppl think 32A is too slow.

Honestly with how many chargers are available, I don't even bring my charger with me when I go out. And this is on my 40 kwh Leaf.
for smaller batteries, 110V isn't too bad. It can fully charge in 24hrs. Same goes for 32A charging. But once you hit the bigger batteries, that will be consider slow. Also bigger batteries like Tesla, people might not charge on a daily basis so they wanted to fill the car within 1 charge and leave it for a few days.

I don't carry my charger with me. There are enough DCFC in a pinch or Level 2 are readily available within the city.
