Agreed. Hardwired is best.
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.
Been using an Autel EVSE for over two years and am largely happy with it. The app is functional, responsive and the unit charges my car reliably.
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.

Looking at the manual. You can remove the 14-50 pigtail and hardwire the unit. Current output is adjustable via a rotary switch.

Current output is adjustable, but the max is 40 amp (50 amp circuit * 80% = 40 amp to charger).
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.

Been using Autel EV chargers for the past 3 years without any issue. You're able to adjust the amps via software or hardware. App isnt extraordinary, but you have all the functions as the more expensive units including time of day functions, notifications and historical graphs
I'm not sure if this is what you are asking, but this charger produces up to 9.6kW. If you had a 60kWh battery, you could fill it in ( 60kWh / 9.6kW = 6.25hrs ). If you had a 100kWh battery it would take ( 100kWh / 9.6kW = 10.4hrs ).
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 ).
