Since Bruce is mentioning small portable EVSE's I thought I'd add this - The Tesla 40A UMC can be converted to a J1772 EVSE by just changing out the Plug, removing the Tesla Plug and crimping on a 50A J1772 Plug. It is a service that TucsonEV does for $115, or you can buy a used UMC with J1772 Plug on it for $500 from them also.
The UMC is either Level 1 or Level 2 depending on the Tesla adapter you are using. And it is extremely portable, it coils up into a circle about 11" in dia and 3" high.
