If that’s an option for you, I’m guessing your laundry is in your garage. If that’s the case, does your breaker panel happen to be in your garage?
Installing a 240V NEMA 14-50 outlet is really not that hard, and depending on where you live, you might be legally able to install it yourself. Where I am, I can pay $60 for a permit and have a state inspector sign off on my work.
This is what I did. My dryer is on the other side of the wall shared by my garage. Electrical code speaking, the circuit that is used for a dryer in the US can only have one outlet, But nothing really stops you from adding a second outlet. I just make sure I don’t run the dryer and charge the car at the same time to avoid popping the circuit breaker, Like avoiding using a kettle and a toaster oven the same time on the same circuit.
He talks about it in the video, but there are $100-300 splitter interlocks that you plug into your dryer outlet, and then you have 2 outlets. The device will electrically prevent using both outlets at once.
Way cheaper than paying to pull more circuits, and a bit safer than your “just remember” system, especially if you have guests.
