I have a new homebrew machine, but it comes with European cables and plugs. It's a 230v two prong to a C13 connection.

I have a EV charger in my garage, it's a nema 14-50 on a 50amp breaker.

My thought was to get a c13 to 6-20R and then plug that into a 6-20 to 14-50 adapter and plug it into my existing 14-50 plug.

Looking for some advice if this is possible, or should I just cut the european plug and wire up a new 6-20 outlet. Want to avoid doing anymore breaker work if possible.

If it came from the UK listed as 240vac and the wires also, their 240vac consists to 1 live 1 neutral where ours is 2 wires and a neutral. Unless you can find an adapter do not start trying to wire a different cord to it.

All is not lost! You can also rewire internally. I have had to do these "field modifications" often with machineries. You may need to replace the cord as well.
Refer to the product manual & above all BE SAFE. If you're not sure hire a professional.
Good luck.
