The physical install looks to be simple unless you need an electrician for hardwiring.
I'm wondering is what version of the juicebox the resident has. Is the plug into the NeMa version is to code here, or would it need to be the hard wired version?

This is a good point too. There is no wifi in the parkade, but there is cell service (not great though).
She sent a photo of her Juicebox unit. It doesn't say a model number on it, but it has a plug that goes right into the wall.
Her request was:

Hi, as per the attached images, I would like to install the Juicebox on the wall in the parking stall (179). I’ve circled the flat metal bracket that would be screwed into the concrete. And shown in the second photo is roughly where it would be placed.
Then the Juicebox itself attaches to that bracket and it has a key that allows me to lock it to the bracket. So as long as the bracket is properly affixed and cannot be manually torn off the wall, the device should be secure.
Then the cable plugs into the outlet that is there, which would be taken care of by the electrician in terms of assuring the correct wiring/connection.

And then from my own research, I figured out Juicebox only plugs into a 14-50, so essentially what she wants to do is replace our 14-30 with a 14-50 and also mount the unit to the wall.
Mounting the unit doesn't bother me so much.
But our circuits are only 30 amps so that's going to be a deal breaker I think.
