First, I'm not knowledgeable about electrical matters (which will become obvious VERY quickly). I can't simply add a new dedicated circuit for the Taycan (my house is maxxed out), and we don't plan to stay in this house a lot longer, so I don't want to go the expense of expanding it (unless I have to).
I watched Tom Moloughney's excellent video (), and he discussed these two smart splitters, and think I'm interested in using one - in conjunction with our electric drier.
Qs:

Qs:
- Any preference for one of these Smart Splitters over the other?
- My drier is about 50 ft away from the garage, but on a common outside wall, so I'm wondering if I should:
- Install the splitter in the drier room, and run a long extension cord along the outside of the house to the garage (how long of a cord CAN I run?) for the Taycan; or
- Have an electrician (if they'll do it):
- Disconnect the drier (or gas oven?) at the breaker box;
- Install a new 30-amp outlet near the breaker box;
- Plug a smart splitter into that new outlet, into which I plug the drier and the Taycan charger.
