jjeff summed things up nicely.
This will all likely come down to how expensive it is to run a new, separate 50A circuit. If that is the route OP chooses he can terminate it with either a 14-50r or a 6-50r receptacle ("outlet"). If he is going to use the EVSE he has then I would terminate with 6-50r and then buy an adapter. If he is going to buy a new EVSE (that probably comes with a 14-50p plug) then terminating the new circuit with a 14-50r receptacle makes sense.
New circuits can run the gamut from $200 to $2000+ depending on electrician, locale, and the specifics of the job. It can get *really* expensive if a panel upgrade is also recommended. Pricey circuit proposals should make you reconsider the dryer buddy.
-- last point to keep in the back of your mind:
Your LEAF will never pull more than 27.5 Amps (meaning a circuit and breaker that is rated for at least 27.5/0.8 = 35 Amps. The actual max power will be less if the EVSE is limited to a lower rate. The game here is to think of the setup as circuit, EVSE, car.
The circuit (and its breaker) has to support 1.25x the lessor of the max Amps that the EVSE or car is rated.
