That is strictly not correct if the wiring is to code.
A 120V outlet with a nema 5-15 will have wires that can withhold upto 15A spikes (and a breaker that will limit that too) but run 12 A (80% rule) continuously 24hr/day without catastrophic heating. So if your L1 EVSE is taking 12A (or lower) connected to a 110/120V outlet and is on a house which has been wired to code....one need not worry. The problem is if things have been done carelessly

Around here the warning is shared from professionals ... they might know how things were defined from elder standards and have seen how things are often built
But you do you - please consider your surroundings, though. Nature fires are difficult to put out again, and neighbours might not take carelessness lightly
The cost of a proper charger properly installed is nothing compared to savings with an EV, and the comfort of speed, easy timing of charging and safety is hard to ignore 😎
