With that said, my personal opinion, don't cheap out on EV chargers. You're not powering your $800 cellphone. You're powering a $50K vehicle. And if build quality is shoddy you're potentially risking a fire.
Again, my 2 cents. There are plenty of known brands for around $500

Unlike EV charging, range/dryer only need to work like 1 hour each time. Also, most likely they will not operate on their maximum power. So not an issue for comsumer grade NEMA outlet.
EV charging is consistent maximum power draw until charge finishes, which could be the whole night.

Is there a UL website that you can look up products to confirm they actually do have UL certification?
So many counterfeit products out there these days, I wouldn't be surprised if companies print counterfeit UL stickers and stick them on the product and then claim to be UL certified.
Yes they do counterfeit. I did quality control for the government and a contractor put UL on items no longer listed. To be listed by UL you pay a subscription fee, submit circuit schematics, and submit revisions to product for review. The process is easily defrauded.
Ok, original gen 1 mobile connector does full 40 amp Tesla can take. This cable doesn't.
I have a 50 foot run between panel and 48 amp charger. I ran 2 hot runs of #4 THHN 90C wire. Then ran it in 3/4" EMT that can be used as the ground. For extra safety, also have a #10 ground wire in the conduit running back to panel (in case of EMT break or section separation). Don't need a neutral, and don't need a ground wire with metal EMT (optional smaller gauge ground wire can be used for extra safety).
The charger might cost a bit more, but you will make up the savings in wire and materials cost. Also, if you are running four #4 wires with this plug in model, you then have to go with 1" EMT, which is basically going to be impossible to bend with a manual pipe bender, you will need a hydraulic pipe bender. I was able to bend the 3/4 EMT with a manual pipe bender, but it's really hard and I even had a helper. Only need 3/4 EMT with a hardwired unit, due to less wires in the pipe. Don't overstuff the wire in the pipe, use a conduit online pipe sizer calculator to determine pipe size. If you overstuff the pipe, the wire will overheat.
I think this plug in model is good if you are mounting it right next to your service panel, like a couple feet away. But if you going to have a run more than about 25 feet, I would go direct hardware. It will actually be cheaper overall, due to less installation materials cost.
Edit: That's a local code. But There are other considerations and EMT as GF Path is on its way out, 2017 code took EMT as ground if you use set screw type connections--- "non-threaded fittings" are no longer allowed in use of EMT if it intends to act as ground fault path on outside runs.
All respectable electricians I know always pull a green wire in residential.

I personally would box it up and return it while you are still in the return window.
Edit: Bought one as I need to return my current Tesla charger with my lease return. $116 delivered is awesome (compared to $266 for Tesla)
Update: got the unit. It gets hot and is not UL certified despite claims in the description. It's going back and I will use a Tesla adapter only.
There is a temperature display. Reached 144 degrees in 1 hour. The proximal cord was hot and so was the 10-40 plug and socket. Used a laser temp tool. The outside of the device read 128F and the 10-40 plug 118F. Then used Tesla adapter. Barely 100F. The plug and socket did not get warm.

They just work better and last long. Far more durable as well.
The cheap knockoffs, they'll work but not enough to justifying the savings - especially when you're dealing with electricity. Tesla has to go through strict standards. these other ones just do 'enough'.
