They are standardized to the point that every car can be charged at varied levels, depending on what plug is available.

The J1772 5-pin standard supports a wide range of single-phase alternating current (AC) charging rates from 1.44 kW (12 amps @ 120 volts) via a household NEMA 5-15 outlet up to 19.2 kW (80 amps @ 240 volts) from a EV charging station.

There is also a 7-pin Combo Coupler that has both a 5-pin J1772 connector and a CCS 2-pin connector that supports DC fast charging up to 90 kW.
 
If going residential cord and plug, most level 2 chargers want a 50A receptacle just like a residential range plug. Car chargers are continuous loads. So a 50A receptacle will allow configuring the charger for 240V 40A. There is no specific demand factor, so three of these would be a 150A load. If adding this on to a typical dwelling load, you would most likely get to apply the 0.4 factor that goes to all loads over the 10kw threshold except for hvac. So 3 chargers would increase the load calc by 60A.
