Mark,
Modern EVSE do not use the Neutral, but early EVSE did for their

easier to find than a 240V supply.
Today all EVSE use a multi-voltage switch mode power supply, but just
to illustrate: the first version of the Leaf convenience
Hi All,
The 14-50 is the standard for 50 Amp use because many appliances utilize
the 120 volt option for display functions.

socket was chosen for portable EVSE charge controllers when they *don’t* use
