To each his/her own...
I was a little unlucky in that, a few months after purchasing an EVSE, my local government introduced a rebate program that covers the first $750 (has to be installed by a qualified electrician) towards an EVSE. I would likely have purchased a hard wired, wall mounted EVSE under that program...
Having said that, a portable EVSE, that supports a wide range of supply voltages and with multiple amperage set points, is super nice. My family does lots of camping in the summer, so having the flexibility to charge at 120V, 208V, and 240V, and at max (safe) amperage levels based on that supply, is a huge benefit at RV parks. Even at home, I was able to install a NEMA 14-30R and use the 24A set point on the Zencar - something that few EVSEs offer.
