Imagine, if you will...a wall charger installed at a vacation home. You drive your EV there, planning to recharge for your return trip. You arrive and find that it has been stolen.
I'm worried about that.
No, you would have to disassemble it completely and reassemble it every time you changed your location and that is going to get real old real quick. It would be best to place it in a secure electrical service box or better yet get an RV electrical outlet or pedestal like you see in a campground.

The original poster was a bit vague in his question. There was some confusion. I believe he was actually asking how easy it would be for HIM to remove the wall charger so that when he was gone it wouldn’t be there to steal.
I agree. I am sure he already came to the conclusion, before he even posted, that he was not going to make it steal proof nor waste the money and time trying. I am sure he just simply wanted to know how easy it was to remove and take with him. I would want to do the same if I was going to leave it unattended for several weeks or months. I doubt the mobile chargers speed was up to his needs either or that would have already been considered. As a group of Tesla and CT enthusiast we could have done a better job advising and welcoming him.... Not everyone here is a techy and can formulate a question to the "specs" some of us expect.

Any bolts can be removed, the word 'screw' doesn't change this any.

Either you're worried about someone taking it - and so it should be in a locked cabinet or you should use a mobile charger - or you don't worry about it.

As I pointed it, there is a software solution. Just take the QR code so that it cannot be registered to another user.
