NEMA 14 - 50 charger recommendations

I do not park in a garage, I park outside why it is hardwired.

I also charge outside during all weather conditions. There is an enclosure around the 14-50 outlet with the cable running out the bottom. Any electrician will know how to set this up correctly.

This just makes no sense. Please anyone reading this, 50A is best connected via an outlet because you’ll have flexibility to swap to another device easily. Hard wire something and you’re stuck with a lot more effort on switching.

Somehow it got started that hardwire is safer than outlet. This simply is not true. If you follow code for your residence and choose a quality outlet, it’s just fine to have an EV charge from an outlet.

It “somehow” got started because of inferior junk receptacles being installed. It’s not made up.
But it’s true that a properly installed, quality receptacle outlet is perfectly safe.

Agreed.
