While awaiting delivery, I’m looking at different EVSE options for home charging. I would like a longer cable for flexibility and I feel like the 18’ cable on the TWC may be limiting. The UMC is potentially the best and most affordable option but will have to wait to take delivery to see if the 20’ cable will suffice. I’m also considering 3rd party chargers with longer cables. There are “smart” chargers (Juicebox, ChargePoint) and “dumb” (Grizzl-E) ones with cable lengths of 23-25’. Given the capabilities of monitoring and scheduling charging on the car itself or Tesla app, is there any benefit to getting a smart charger over a dumb charger? The smart features of these chargers seem mostly redundant.
