Wallbox is connected 24hr a day, 7 days a week.I wouldn't worry too much about power consumed by the wallbox. 10W of power usage there is negligible next to the approx. 400W power used by the car.
If I could charge at 7kW instead of 3.6kW, I absolutely would. However, I'm not willing to spend several thousand € to get my house wiring up to that, because that would take forever to recoup.
Car is only "on" for consuming power when charging or standing by.
It would take forever to recoup for installing a wallbox. I like the size of ICCB. I only have a short wall on porch for wallbox installation on side of letterbox. Large box or cable would be hazardous environment to postman.
