Chargepoint specifically states not to use a GFCI breaker when using their charger so Im presuming most EVSE chargers are similar
Can I install ChargePoint Home Flex on a GFCI breaker?
Yes. However, if local codes require a GFCI breaker for plug-in installation, ChargePoint recommends a hardwire installation. We do not recommend using a GFCI breaker as the Home Flex already has integrated charging circuit interrupting device (CCID) protection. Using a GFCI breaker in the panel, especially with a plug-in installation, can cause nuisance breaker tripping in certain circumstances and interrupt charging.

Thanks. Yes this is the plan. The rental is an interior condo unit, so not an exterior wall.
And yes this would be swapped back with the GFCI when we leave. The owner of the unit had done some electrician work in his past and was OK with the proposal.
I'd still like to know if the BMW Flex charger specifically has its own GFCI. I cannot find anything saying specfically it does.
