I don't quite understand your question.
It's a level 2 charger. It needs 240 volts. There are different types of connectors for 240 volt depending on amperage rating. And with those, you can use adapters, but as far as your average 120 household receptacles, the level 2 chargers just won't work. A lot of people have their level 2 chargers hard wired into the panel. I like the fact I can plug in a 240 volt heater, welder, etc. when needed. Not just for the charger. I have an extra 240 volt receptacle in the garage. I use it to plug in a heater. As long as the device has a Nema 14 plug.

Since having the electrical panel installed by the garage door, I can easily add or modify my outlets for all my electrical needs. I have trailers that are powered by 120 volt for lights, power tools, etc. To work on any of the outlets, I just turn the main breaker off and not have to worry about anything else in the house being affected.
