You could wire the white (normally neutral) wire to a double throw 20 amp circuit breaker (if thick enough) as long as your EVSE doesn't have or use the neutral pin. But that would hardly be legal.
It's to code if you use a receptacle rated for that. My house came with a 240v 20a circuit and receptacle, and I changed it over to 120v to run a window AC unit someone gave me.
