Well, I try to make it a habit to not plug/unplug things while wrapping my fingers around the plug, touching the prongs while standing in wet sneakers on a concrete floor.
For a semi-permanently installed EVSE, it's really overkill and unnecessary. For my compressor (twist lock, never unplugged), it's overkill. If you're unplugging your UMC every day, maybe that's a concern. I'd be more worried about wearing out the plug and causing a fire than getting a shock from the plug
North American 240V isn't really any more dangerous than 120V; each leg is 120V to ground. You'd have to do something Darwin Award-worthy to get hit with the full 240 (like holding one hot in each hand).
Regarding pricing, you get what you pay for - (Square D QO) >> (Siemens==Square D Homeline)
