The cold hard truth about electric vehicles in winter

I dont have 220 in the garage. Of course 220 is coming into the panel but there is no circuit breaker, wiring or outlet. In my experience this is common. 220 is only provided for washers, stoves, and HVAC. Can a 220 outlet be added, certainly, but it is not default.

Washing machines very rarely are 240V in the US, they usually are 120V. It’s electric dryers that are 240V.

That's my point though, you can add a 220v socket pretty cheaply given there's a panel.
