Default Charging on a dryer outlet

So I tried using the search function and could not find anything on this topic. I just bought a used 2016 Sonata Plug-in and I have been charging on my regular 110 outlet. Is there a way to charge on a dryer outlet? Like is there an adapter that will allow me to use the same plug to plug into that outlet? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Don't know about the Sonata plug-in
But, there are cables available to use those types of plugs to fast charge EV cars
Check your owners manual to see if it is possible to use 220v to 240v fast chargers?

Check out this chart to see if your dryer out matches then search Amazon for fast charger to match.

I have a 2016 plug-in. It takes 6.5 hours to charge it on 120v. I bought a 240 volt charger from China, it only takes about 2.5 hours. A 20 amp circuit is big enough, I just put one below the elect panel in the garage. 20A 240v receptacle. I ordered the charger direct from China for about $130, the ones you buy for $450 are made in China anyway. I also got it with a 24' cord so it reaches anywhere. Make sure you order the right plug on the cord. Regards, Tom
