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.

I think the simplest would be to install a NEMA 14-60 with a 60 amp breaker, and swap in a NEMA 14-60 cord cap on the charger. If you are over 50 amps, you are exempt from the NEC GFCI requirements, even outdoors. A bit silly, but this is what the NEC rules say you can do You could
