The Classic (black), Avalanche (white), and Extreme (camo) Editions of the Grizzl-E 40A (10kW) EVSE are on sale direct from Grizzl-E. These are some of the most reliable non-"smart" EVSE's on the market. They are made in Canada, and are UL certified, with a 3 year warranty. They come in a metal case with an extremely heavy-duty 24 foot charge cable and an IP67 (water resistant) rating for outdoor use.
Current is set via internal DIP switches, so if your circuit cannot support a 40A EVSE (which requires a 50A breaker and circuit) you can lower the current to run it safely on a lower capacity circuit.
The
"Smart" edition [grizzl-e.com] is also on sale for $449 but I found the features to be too minimal and not at all worth the additional premium. All it allows is for you to set a schedule for charging, but since the majority of EVs have that feature built in it simply doesn't justify a $100 higher price.
Note: Shipping is extra.

$400
But can connect with home monitoring and you can do solar only charging. Home monitoring is about $125 which is pretty good in itself

If I were buying today I might spend a little more to future-proof with higher amperage option even though I don't yet have a car that can take advantage of it. Still, if your priority is outdoor durability and resilience (or you're just very price-sensitive), this is an excellent option.

Buying an EVSE with a dedicated J1772 connector to use on a non-Tesla EV should work perfectly every time.. with no headaches or worries that come with using an adapter. The more expensive ones have WiFi with real smart features like stat tracking, scheduling, remote amperage control, and the ability to share control with your power company so you can get the cheapest off-peak rates and most incentives. Pepco gave me a $300 rebate on the ChargePoint Home Flex I use to charge my wife's ID.4.. I got special access to their off-peak EV charging rebate which gives me a refund of $0.03 per kWh via Amazon gift card every 3 months.. and Im signed up their smart control EVSE management which knocks another $10 off my monthly electric bill as Pepco can power cycle my EVSE during the night to spread out demand every night as the number of EV owners grows and everybody plugs in at at the same time when they get home from work.
Meanwhile, I do also own the Tesla Wall Connector and use it daily to charge my Model Y. For the most part, it's a dumb 'smart' charger. While it does connect to WiFi the only real thing that connection provides is power sharing. All other 'smart' charging features are essentially controlled by the car. Scheduling, amperage control, stat tracking and even sharing control with the power company.. all done on the touchscreen of my Model Y.. or by using the Tesla smartphone app.. or by sharing my Tesla API credentials with another party. The TWC does look awesome though... I love the design & lights.. and of course the 60A hardwired connection. At $350 its a steal. If the TWC w/J1772 connector dropped to $350 I'd buy one immediately.

I went with the Grizzl-E Smart version and use the ChargeLab app. Works great.
