That short cord is a real pain, as most of the "found" public outlets are worn and lacking in 'grip'.
Hanging a big box off the plug is just dumb. And it's not like I can carry around a masonry drill and mount hooks/shelves/screws/bungies to support the EVSE.
I can't see any reason at all why a good 12ga 1-foot or 2-foot extension cord would add risk. Indeed, the prongs are usually exposed just by hanging the swinging mass from them -- a cord that allows the box to sit on the ground would be safer.
