I'm wondering what my options are for getting power to a different location to charge an electric car. At this point I do not have the car or a 240 volt level 2 EVSE 
.
There are 2 separate existing 240 volt circuits within 20 to 30 feet of where the car would be charged.
Option #1 - 50 amp 240 volt RV mounted to the side of the house. If I didn't have too many cars in the driveway this one could be used regularly. As it is, the parking spot would be 20-25 feet from the charge port on the car.
Option #2 - there is a dryer outlet inside the house at the back of the garage. Not inside the garage but inside the house. This washer dryer hookup is not used, there is a second hookup in the basement which is what we use. The 2 hookups are all separate circuits, meaning this particular outlet has it's own double pole breaker at the panel and it is the only thing on the circuit.
EVSE's are available in either hardwired form or plug in types. Amperage is not of any particular concern here. The charger in the car handles a max of 3.3 Kw so the EVSE would be chosen to be no more than 20 amps max (more likely 14 or 16) which is within the capability of either circuit.
I know it is valid to have more than 1 outlet on a 240V branch circuit. If I choose a hardwired EVSE does that eliminate the use of these circuits if I want to leave the outlets in place? Does the fact that the dryer outlet is intended for an appliance eliminate the possibility of extending that branch to the garage for a plug in EVSE installation?
