Yeah - you'll see that I mentioned that - if that is true, then great. But, IMO, it's worth verifying. Even more worth double checking if the building is old, or an extension cord is involved.
It's definitely true on a Tesla using their mobile charger. The car will report on its screen exactly what it's charging at. When I charged at 120v (before getting a hardwire charger installed), the car reported charging at 12 amps.

Car chargers only pull 12A from a 15A circuit.

Yes, the one time I used an extension cord to charge the car, I set the max amperage to 8 even though it was a 15Amp rated cord.
