L2 seems to work fine. While I was fiddling w/ my plug a guy in a Leaf showed up but didn't have a card. As I was in the process of giving up on my EVSE I used my card to authorize his charge (charging is free at SFO).I have had good luck charging the Leaf with them on the J-plug.
I think some companies like them because they can make the access cards private for employees only.
Clipper Creek doesn't seem to offer conditional access control, which is fine for truly public charging, but not for "staff only" charging.
Also, those other brands don't lock the plug when not in use so they are more prone to vandalism.
I also like the conditional payment feature as my company was planning to make the chargers public to qualify for the tax credit but still provide free charging to employees.
