I went with an Emporia, and couldn't be happier. Gets 48A charging, 24tf cord, and has all of the features (including app) that the bigger names have at $100 or more cheaper.

I keep the charging unit that came with the car in my frunk in case I'm somewhere and desperately need a charge. They weren't meant to be constantly reinserted into outlets, so unless you're planning on sticking it in an leaving it there, you might consider something more durable.
 
My Polestar level 1 cable is plugged into the garage socket beside the door, cable fits under the garage door and is holstered on the wall outside. Permanently plugged in. When I need to charge I plug the holstered end into the car and switch on the socket switch inside the garage. It takes a minute. Just like a wall box does. While it takes longer than 7 hours to charge, the evening and early morning is sufficient to recharge it fully. No plugging and unplugging the three pin into the socket. Btw there are 12 sockets in the garage to choose from but the one near up and over door is convenient. I don’t get the kerfuffle over doing this.
Because not everyone has the same garage as you?
