This is exactly why I went with a 14-50R outlet. I have 3 Porsche Mobile Charge Connects in my garage.
1) Outlet one = 2 AWG-> Safety Disconnect-> 4 AWG -> 14-50R
2) Outlet two = 4 AWG-> Safety Disconnect-> 4 AWG-> 14-50R
3) Outlet three = standard household outlet (this takes like 48 hours to charge if not longer).
In the future I can add a 100 amp charger to the 2 AWG setup and a 80 amp charger to the 4 AWG setup pretty easily.
I can also swap out my chargers to any one that has a 14-50 plug in case they fail or I want to try something new.
So far this setup works great for me. Don't forget to go with copper and not aluminum.

Assume your ChargePoint will be hardwired. Do you have backup if hardwired EVSE should fail? (That's why I am going with 50amp circuit and receptacle.)
