I believe that some "home installed" chargers are still networked, so they are still tracking you - this is "sold" as that you can set different rates for your own RFID and others, but I prefer to not have a "smart" charger. I like the simplicity of an extension cord: copper cable and connectors, that is all you need to charge. To comply with the new standard, I have added a resistor and a diode so I can tap from J1772 but prefer the stations that you simply insert the connector and it starts supplying power without waving one of the many RFID cards that I needed to register for...
I have a JuiceBox and I have several Power Packs, none of them is networked.

Some of my friends have commented on my growing collection of stylish tinfoil hats ;-). Those activation cards for charging stations - from what I can tell, cash is never an option, as it is at gasoline filling stations - make me a little uncomfortable. When you use them, you're effectively being tracked. The data are logged somewhere, and who knows how good the security is? It's one more hole in your privacy shield. OK, it's probably not a big one, but still it's another place for your personal data to leak out. So, that's one more advantage for home charging : improved privacy.
