20 Amp outlet (240v) appears to be connected to 30 amp breaker. Is this safe? Was hoping to use the outlet for an EV Charger. I am new to the house. thanks

You actually have 2 choices with 1 being change the receptacle to 30 amp or change the breaker to 20 amps. Always make sure the power is off. What size wire is being used ?
