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!

I know one early EV adopter who switched to two EVs way back in 2012, when the 1st gen Nissan Leaf was in production. He and his wife both drove the Leafs. To my query on how he would do vacation trips, his response was "rent a car, dummy".

Thank you for this information. I wish I had known this option before I bought mine a few months ago.
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.

But it's $499. Is this cheaper in store or is it a different model?
I have been using the adapter as I have a charger with J1772 connector. I just permanently leave the adapter on it. It works very well.
I'm guessing you won't find it anywhere in SoCal, probably cause not enough EV around for the stores to carry it.
When testing at -15F it's the least manageable cable he's tested. Very inflexible.

I have thee gas cars, and one Tesla in my home. And the Tesla is the go-to car for long trips. Super Charger Network, free Destination Chargers, large screen entertainment system (with HULU, Disney, video games, etc.), tons of luggage storage space (trunk and frunk), Autopilot on the highway, security system that allows you to watch 360 degrees around the car when parked, camp mode/dog mode, and ability to leave the air-conditioning running without running a gasoline engine. Make it the ideal road trip car.
