Our municipality is using chargepoint and Juicebox. These two are fully UL Listed and I think that's the reason. Autel is UL Rated, but rated is not the same as UL listed.
Cable really stiff in <20F temps, but no overheats with garage temperatures over 110F easily this summer.
It's a heavy duty unit. Wifi and bluetooth work well, and you can actually hardwire ethernet on this one I believe if you don't have Wifi.
I don't have two units to test this, but I have researched this model more than many youtubers out there that do charging reviews. Yes it appears that two chargers can share one circuit based on load balancing. This load balancing is based on internet control to the two units, not control wiring between the two units. It's app driven through Wifi.
With data driven features and a dedicated app this is more powerful than the current Wall Connector in my opinion.
Maybe not as inexpensive, but you can piece together your own EVSE (colloquially called "EV Charger") using an open platform, which I find pretty slick!

Are you talking about Time of Use pricing? If so you can set a schedule to not charge during peak hours. If not, I'm interested to learn more about charging rates billed by the charger.
For Tesla you can install an industrial grade 14-50 wall outlet from Hubbell or Bryant and control charging through the car and/or app. with the Tesla portable cable. Or get the Tesla wall charger. It's the highest rated at State of Charge. I use a 110v 20A circuit with a Lectron portable charger and 100ft.10g extension cord to deliver 16A to my M3. I'm thinking about time-of-day lower rates with a separate meter in the future.

Tesla, Fisker, Ford, GM, Honda, Mercedes, Nissan, Polestar, Rivian, and Volvo. Plus Tesla's Super Charger network. All going to be NACS.
They have a decent app for monitoring energy usage, the EVSE is UL Listed, and supports 48a / 11.5kWh charging rate. For the extra $100, it may be worth it for the faster charging rate.
