I presume they left out that 13kV is what the street level transformers get- which in turn will turn into 240v split phase, 240v three phase, or 480v three phase.

Isn't 120v the norm in the US ? In France, every home has a three phase 400V coming from the utility, then you choose if you want single phase or three phase in your home.

In 240 V split phase, each phase is 120 V.
