I feel like you are overthinking this. The DCC is going to set you back $1000 or so. If you need it, go for it, but if you don't have a large house & electric heat you have a chance.
If the electrician is doing a proper load calc and the permitting authority will sign off on it, I'd put in the 14-50. Use the timer in the car & set the current at a lower number except when you really need it.
If they won't sign off on a 14-50, put in a 14-30. Still will charge most folks overnight. Yes, you have a tremendous challenge with the cold, but if you schedule your charging right it should be doable.
How many miles do you drive a day?
