> a tenant running a homemade 240v cable to the outlet for the electric clothes dryer and manually plugging/unplugging back & forth

Most level 2 chargers have a 20+ foot cord. I did the plug/unplug thing while I waited to install the plug in my garage, but my dryer is just inside of the door to the garage. Perhaps you're talking about a much longer run, but even with a proper extension cord (often less than $100), it should be fine.
