Might be an issue if you have a disability that precludes bending down to plug in a socket. Also harder to keep rain & dirt out.
Perhaps somewhere between the two, the socket could be installed in a bollard. That could be made not much wider than the socket itself. Still fairly discrete without the maintenance and accessibility headaches.
