I'm in Pasadena, CA and got my EVSE from the EV Project.
In general I've been happy with the experience: There were a few teething issues, however the Blink technical support was very helpful in resolving them and they were responsive to the needs of home users.
Having a hard-wired charger is really nice because you don't have to dig the 110 charger out of your trunk -- it's much easier to pop the charger port and plug in. I wish that I had a 6.6 kW on-board charger like we have in the RAV4-EV and we used to have in our EV1s... but even at 3.3 kW there is enough of a difference between that and charging at 110 that you won't regret the money spent.
Personally, my *main* motivation in participating in the project was to provide my charging & driving data. I want EVs to be successful. Getting the free charging station was a nice bonus.
