You can install this as a hardwired unit. The cord the plug is attached to just screws into the terminals the same way that your hardwire will.
Pretty sure it would still just be 40 amp though.

Reasons to not buy this unit might be if your car has a NACS inlet or if you have limited service capacity in your electrical panel and need load management (although IIRC some Autel units purportedly do load management, haven't heard from too many people who use it).
The only improvement I could see doing to mine would be to have a thinner cable. It's a bit bulky.
Overall, this is a good charger at a competitive price.

The 50 amp (or 80 amp) models have additional settings on that rotary switch.
For most people the difference between 40 amp and 48 amp won't matter, either will likely be enough to top off the battery overnight. But if you really need that extra 20% performance, the corded model won't do that, even if you hardwire it.

In real life you will lose some energy to inefficiencies, 90% efficiency is plausible so that 9.6kW is really ~8.64kW. Your car will also slow down the charging rate when the battery starts getting full; going from 90->100% will be much slower than 60->70%. On the other hand, you usually don't charge batteries to 100%, or let them drop to 0%.
If you follow the standard recommendation to keep the battery between 20 and 80%, then a "full" charge (from 20% to 80%) would take ( (60kWh x 60%) / (9.6kW x 90%) = 4.17hrs ).
