Do be careful with this as there is a difference between copper and aluminum conductors but the biggest difference is in the temperature rating of the insulation that coats the wires.You really don’t need 4 gauge to run at 48 amps. 6 gauge is ok up to 65amps which you will not approach. The Mach e will only take 10.5kw on the level 2 charger. That means the max current it will take at 240v is 43.75amps.
You can install 'the correct' wire size but if the insulation is wrong you can be out of spec and under rated. Not good.
Look up 'Ampacity Chart' for more info.
