How popular are 6-50 level 2 EV chargers?
They are our second-best-selling EV charger. Customers typically ask for a 14-50 or 6-50 level 2 EV charger. 6-50 EV Chargers are popular due to the use of this plug type initially by Tesla and other wall box manufacturers. The NEMA 6-50 plug does not require additional wiring, such as a neutral wire so it is less complex and cheaper to install
What is a NEMA level 2 6-50 EV Charger?
6-50 is the electrical standard name given by NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturers Association) to describe a 3-prong 240-volt outlet. It is a 3-blade receptacle
How much EV power will a NEMA 14-50 provide to my electric vehicle?
A NEMA 6-50 at its highest setting will provide up to 40 amps, equivalent to 9.6 kilowatts per hour (kWH) of power to the electric vehicle at a range of 208 to 240 volts depending on local power supply. Plug-in hybrid vehicles often will not benefit from the 9.6 kilowatts of available power and will generally only accept 3.7, 6.6 or 7.4 kilowatts per hour
What is the electrical driving range a 6-50 will provide?

Is there a disadvantage to a 6-50 EV plug outlet compared to a 14-50 outlet plug?
There is no major disadvantage compared to a 14-50. A 6-50 does not have a neutral wire so is cheaper and easier to install but provides less flexibility in the future.
