I’m getting my garage set up to charge my F150 Lightning, and I’m thinking about using my dryer outlet to run a Level 2 charger. My laundry room is right next to the garage, so my plan is to use the existing NEMA 14-30 outlet with a NeoCharge smart splitter, plus an adapter to connect it to a NEMA 14-50 plug for the Ford mobile charger.

This seems like a more affordable option than running new 6/3 wiring all the way from the panel downstairs, which would be about 80 feet of wiring. It this a better option, or are there potential issues I should be aware of?

Just trying to make sure I have everything ready before the truck arrives early next year! Also, is there a significant difference between using the Ford mobile charger on Level 2 versus a third-party Level 2 charger?
 
I will need a 24-amp charger if you want to avoid any issues with your setup because the Ford Mobile Charger will trip the 30-amp breaker.
