Can I charge my 2014 chevy spark with a 16 amp level 1 charger and get 16 amps?

Also how fast can my 2014 chevy spark charge with a level 2 charger?

I want to get this 240v charger with 40amps.

The EVSE (what you call a "charger" - the charger is actually in the car) tells the vehicle what it can provide. The Spark pulls what it pulls. The spark will *never* pull more than 12 amps on 120V. NEVER.

The max the SparkEV will pull at 240V is 3.3 kW. So buying anything over a 16A 240V charger is useless (just for the Spark - if you have or will have a different EV, then ...)
