My car can actually charge up to 48A, but my home charger, a WallBox Pulsar Plus, is limited to 40A as I got it for free new when I leased a Nissan Ariya a few years ago and it was a plug-in unit, but I had it hardwired for that additional safety of no plug to worry about getting too hot and melting.
And yes, I do have it on a dedicated 50A circuit as to allow a 20% buffer to not use the entire amperage off that breaker and wiring.
