I'm all set to get my HPWC installed and was planning on using romex wire. That is until I came upon SER cable. It seems like its just as safe and easy to use but costs less. Seems like I should switch no? Can anyone elaborate on the differences between these two cables?

For reference:
2-3 NM-B | $6.74/ft | 2-3 W/G NM-B Wire Black
2-2-2-4 SER | $6.29/ft | 2-2-2-4 Copper SER Service Entrance Cable

I am installing a 90 amp breaker, 75 ft of cable. Yes I know the M3 can only take 48amps but I am planning for a second tesla in the future with a second HPWC
