What kind of range do you have on that? I've been debating installing a l2 charger because overnight charging is usually good enough. I tend to get about 15-20 miles range tops on pure electric.

The way I explained it to my brother:

technically just plug in to an existing outlet will work. Even if you didn’t keep up every day, you would get tot the weekend and make it up then
but your garage already has a dryer outlet. Adapters are cheap and it will charge 4-5 times as fast
but 50a level 2 charger is the same size as a stove outlet. Maybe a little longer wire run, and the “outlet” is more expensive, but it’s well worth the cost for the freedom, the flexibility, the convenience … and may even add to your house value

As explained in the video you can't run 50 amps ona dryer outlet. It's 42 amps max.
