Most typical use is electrical stove/range. For EV charges, you'd want to go with 6 guage if you can (and your panel allows it).

Highly recommended to over size wiring for EV charging.

And if not hard-wired, a quality 14-50R if going for 40A continuous - not the $10 things sold at the big box stores. $50+ Hubbell HBL9450A or equivalent for reliability.

Let's check the ampacity charts. All romex/nm-b has to use the 60c table. For continuous load you use 80% of rating.

55amps * .8 = 44 amps. 44 < 48 amps. You will also be on an 60 amp breaker. This is for copper. It's time to size up to 4awg.

Tell me about this all sorts of wrong though.
Np. You take the rating of the charger. 48a. Then put a 25% adder to that. You are now at 60a. You need a wire rated for that, or more. You need to use a 60a breaker.

Exactly. Plug in chargers don't use the neutral either.
If you aren't installing a neutral on the 14-50 then you better label it for that ev charger only and make sure a customer actually checks whenever they decide to buy another plug in charger or they decide to plug something else in..... welder maybe? this is usually a big no from an inspector.

What do you think will happen if it doesn't have a neutral???

Agreed you have to install a neutral if you install a nema 14-50. Better to install a nema 6-50 if you want to install an outlet.

I'm the kind of person that takes the approach I'd rather do something right once than half-assed or cheap once and then finally the right way once. That said it seems 8 wire isn't really enough for an EV charger - better than 12, yes, but think of all the labor and whatnot that's involved in routing the wire for a charger (basically all the effort - mounting the chargepoint and tie in is peanuts). If you realize 8 is not enough and you have to go to 6 or larger, 90% of your work has to be redone on top of basically wasting money on the 8 to begin with.
