I am looking to purchase an EVSE and the obvious choice is
(1) To get a make that supports delayed / specific time for start of charging. Eg.

OR
(2) Get a simple EVSE unit that just turns on and turns off and I control the charging via in car configuration.

My obvious preference would be to get (2) as that will save me $100.
Now here is my use case.
I plan to charge at home using the delayed charging option and turn on L2 charger at midnight.
I plan to charge at work 50% of the time and of course i'd like to not use delayed charging there. We get first come first serve charging at work so my charging time cannot be predicted in advance.
My question is could we configure the car to perform delayed charging at home but create an override feature for the work charging and charge immediately upon connecting the EVSE at work? Apparently, Nissan Leaf offers an override option that starts charging immediately if you hit the override button but i have not found this option on our i3.
