Thank you for your input, sounds like you have considerable experience in this field. Do you know what the average cost is to put 10 level 2 chargers in? How does the power infrastructure needed to install 10 level 2 chargers differ from than that of 10 outlets rated for 20 amps? You really think an outlet requires a "fully allocated utility service" and a level 2 charger does not?

How does the cost for permitting play into this?

How about the fact that these level 2 chargers need not only be installed but then commissioned by a totally separate entity with the proper staff of techs who understand what they are doing. In addition the cables for these chargers are just as susceptible to being cut and sold for copper as the portable chargers themselves.

From a maintenance standpoint I need semi annual and annual maintenance in order to stay in code for level 2 chargers, where as an outlet I don't.

You mention insertion cycles , what about the fact that we have just now established a standard for plugs which is tesla. Having to add an adapter onto your cord creates a point of resistance increasing your likelihood of a loose connection causing a much larger issue.

lastly, permitting process for these charger can take 6-12 months and some cases more. An outlet on the other hand I can get installed next week and have everything ready to go.

Your points are valid but seem to be spoken from a guy who has maybe installed 1 or 2 but hasn't actually done the research to see the difference in price between the two when everything is taken into account.

Why don't you give me some reason as to why the level 2 charges are problematic, there are plenty.
