Can I use 6 gauge for 55 feet on a 60 amp breaker? null

yes, if it is THHN wire can handle more heat plus the charger will only pull 48amp 80% of breaker size. If you put in 50-amp breaker it will pull 40 amps not much difference on a full charge it will save about an hour charging time but what's the difference, it is still an overnight charger basically

Yes, I used a 60amp with 6 gauge wire as well. 55ft of wire is not too long.
