One more thing, as others have mentioned the EVSE could potentially just be a high powered NEMA outlet, e.g. a 14-50 on a 50A circuit to support up to 40A continuous draw charging. I'm NOT a fan of installing NEMA outlets for daily dedicated EV charging though, especially not outdoors. There are technical, practical/UX, and physical reasons to install a hardwired EVSE instead.
Now if we were talking about setting up a charging circuit at a relative's house who doesn't have an EV themselves, that just wants to be nice and support you charging when you visit, then a 14-50 outlet is a good choice for you to plugin to occasionally. However I'd never recommend deploying a new NEMA outlet for daily charging anymore.
(In the past the situation was different, especially for Tesla charging, and it used to make a lot of sense to install a NEMA 14-50 to daily charge a Tesla instead of using a Wall Connector. That's why many folks who've had a Tesla for a long time went the 14-50 route. Like me! But I would NOT recommend it for new charging circuits anymore, the circumstances and costs have changed significantly, now a Wall Connector is the entirely better option for daily charging.)
