Pro tip: picked a 40 amp hardwired box over the 14-50 outlet in my garage, no regrets after 8 months

I was stuck between a NEMA 14-50 plug and just hardwiring a 40 amp charger in my garage in Boise. Went hardwired because I read too many forum posts about melted plugs, and it charges my Bolt at 32 amps every night with zero issues. Anyone else skip the outlet route or did I overthink it?
