I was looking at buying a new EVSE. My question is, can I (legally, safely) wire an L6-30 outlet on a switch of some type to select 120 volts or 240 volts, or do I need two separate outlets, one at each voltage?
I was visioning having a hot run straight to one of the hot ports on the outlet, and have another hot (out of phase for 240V) and a neutral (for 120V) run to a 3-way switch like this one:

The lead from the switch would go to the other hot port on the outlet, and of course proper grounding.
