Yes - I'm in Guernsey where we have a sole supplier of electricity. We have cheap rate hours which are fixed between 20:30 and 06:30 daily (currently around 11.5p per unit) - the car/van itself has a charge timer so won't accept any charge outside of these hours regardless.
If the tariff hours are fixed and the charger doesn’t need to integrate directly with the suppliers system like many do here, buy whatever you want.
Over here the best rates are only available for specific chargers because you hand over control to the supplier and they decide when to charge it in the night.

I didn't realise charging was quite so intelligent there! Good to know any bog standard 7.4kw charger will do the job as well as the next one.
The only thing so consider is if you need Solar divert or not. If you do, you’ll need a more expensive unit.

Deliveries have been pretty good by all accounts, my saloon was ordered mid March and arrived at the dealer mid July. I can’t get me grubby mitts on it till October tho grrr.
