In addition, this unit is hardwire only so you would be wise to hire an electrician to install. They also have a version with NEMA 14-50 plug. If you got that version, and already had an EV rated 14-50 socket, you wouldn't need an electrician as you just mount it and plug it in. The EV rated part is important as cheap 14-50 plugs not meant for continuous, high current drain, can melt.
Finally, this is J1772. Many "older" EVs have that plug, but basically all new cars are going to come out with a NACS (Tesla) plug. If you get a NACS EV, you'll need an adapter. They're relatively cheap and is actually what I do, but in the reverse (I have a J1772 EV, but a NACS charger that I got a good deal on)
And of course, you need to worry about quality. I believe Wolfbox does have a good reputation.
Also, one with a proper warranty of at least a couple years. I wouldn't expect much 'warranty support' out of this one beyond Amazon's 30 day return policy.
Some of the more favorable options include: Tesla's, Chargepoint Home Flex, and the Grizzl-E Ultimate or Mini
Here's a review 'shootout' showing some of the best: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBTxLK1

That said, it does appear to have a relatively high idle power consumption @ 8.5W. Many units are below 2W, FWIW.
