We have two EVs, a M3 LR and a much cheaper Nissan Leaf for local/commute, and the J1772 with the Tesla-provided adapter serves well for our purpose.
That makes no sense. A Wall CONNECTOR (not charger, the charger is in the car) is hardwired into the circuit. If you have a 6-50 outlet already, just buy the 6-50 adapter for the UMC and you’re done. You’ll charge at 32A. No reason to think about a 14-50 outlet in your circumstances.
I have a detached garage with the existing 50a circuit. Long term I will be parking in the attached garage and will have to add a breaker to the panel, etc. if that becomes reality I prefer to go ahead and install a receptacle so it’s there and then i can choose to “plug in” the wall connector or whatever I may do in the future. I just like doing things that make for future proofing / easier to update/change whatever.
