I don't have experience with the EVSE you have mentioned but I can tell you what I did, as our situations seem similar. Prices quoted below are US dollars.
I picked up a tesla mobile connector. It's their portable charging EVSE which can use any one of a number of wall plug adapters to run on 120v or 240v and at just about any current you could want. These are $200 and come with the wall plugs for NEMA 5-15 and the 14-15 plug that many RVs use. Alternate wall plugs are about $40-50 each and are available for pretty much any plug you can find in north America. I bought the adapter for NEMA 6-20 wall plugs, which allows my Prime SE to charge as quickly as it is able, but you could pick up a NEMA 5-20 plug for use on a 20 amp 120v circuit, which would get you the 10 hour charge time you are looking for.
You will need a Tesla-j1772 adapter. I picked one up from umc-j1772.com for around $150 or $160. The cool part about adapters from this company is that they include a chip that tells public tesla destination chargers that a tesla is plugged in, so you can charge for free. Not all other Tesla-to-j1772 adapters will do that. Some do, but not all.
In the end, I paid $400 including shipping for my setup, which allows me to do level 1 charging or level 2, and to utilize both standard 120v wall plugs (15amp standard, but 20 amp plug adapter available for $45) and 240v wall plugs that provide higher current. There are warranties from well established companies for everything I bought, too, vs whatever roll of the dice one takes with amazon purchases.
Anyway, this is an option you may not have been aware of. Hopefully the info helps.
