How sweet would it be if RAV4 EV owner could pay the $2500 and use SuperChargers? Time savings alone!

I don't think that's related at all. Supercharging bypasses the on-board chargers (part of its job is to convert AC to DC) and is DC fast charging.

No, adding a 2nd OBC is not related. Notice that at http://www.teslamotors.com/models/design that the 2nd onboard charger is not related to supercharger enabled?4EVEREV said:cwerdna said:^^^

It is related and needed partly but the RAV already has it, what it does not have is the port directly connected to the pack. As a side note it is possible to charge a RAV with the stock setup at about 11 kw.
http://www.teslamotors.com/about/press/releases/tesla-motors-brings-revolutionary-supercharger-europe-launch-across-norwayIt works by delivering DC power directly to the battery using special cables that bypass onboard charging equipment.
Supposedly, the Superchargers just contain multiple units of the on-board charger found in the car. There's been discussion of this all over the place in the past. I quickly dug up http://www.teslamotorsclub.com/showthread.php/8590-Tesla-Supercharger-network/page193?p=473935&viewfull=1#post473935.Superchargers provide half a charge in about 20 minutes, delivering up to 120 kW DC (Direct Current) power directly to the Model S battery using special cables that bypass the onboard charging equipment.

Have you looked at the diagram at http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?p=262630#p262630? Why would you need another on-board charger (which converts AC to DC) when Supercharging is DC fast charging?
