Level 2 EVSE Ownership - Where do you fall?

[blars]

Curious on what current Energi owners thoughts are on a level 2 EVSE, especially for those that lease vs own.  I am currently a fence-sitter as I lease and only occasionally do multiple small trips in a day.  Not sure I can justify spending $500, especially when I'm leasing for 24 months.  I do really like the car, and there is a good chance I'll buy out or upgrade to a newer PHEV at the end of my lease, but I'd be much more inclined to buy one if they were in the $200 range.

There is more L2 charger info in the below thread, among a few others, for more info on who bought which -

Have and own.  If you have a 24 month lease and are likely to get something similar I'd recommend a more powerful charger than the Energi can use.  I plan on driving mine until 2019 when the HOV sticker expires then get something else to drive and likely a more powerful charger.

Just finished installing a Clipper Creek HCS-40 (30A charger).

Plan on keeping the Enegi for a few years and hope to convince my better half of getting an EV in the next year or two, so having a more powerful charger makes sense to me.

Also, I think a 240V charger makes a lot of sense for the Energi.
