That's a good point. The dryer has an outlet plug too that technically could be unplugged and something else plugged into. And it's around water (the laundry tub next to it in my laundry room has GFCI outlets above it). So I suppose this is the same thing, as long as it's a dedicated circuit (single outlet) for a designated purpose.I believe you generally are not required to use a GFCI receptacle/breaker for dedicated circuits. Like your washing machine/dryer/etc which should hold true for your EVSE receptacle as well.
Of course, being on the wall in garage really doesn't prevent someone from temporarily unplugging it and plugging in a welder or something. But I suppose there just has to be a level of trust.
