I suppose you could also install a 14-60 outlet and just cut the bottom (neutral) pin off your EVSE's 14-50 plug. I've done that on many 14-50 portable EVSE plugs, then it fits in a 14-30 Dryer outlet too. (this pin is not used on EVSEs) Just be sure and de-rate the breaker for safety. (Allowed under code)
