And the main fuse panel(s)
Wow I forgot the US only uses 110v. That does suck hard. It seems it’s you lot plus most of the rest of the American continent plus Japan, although even Argentina uses 240v.
Maybe this is a reason Japan likes Hydrogen so much...Maybe Hydrogen is more useful in the US too. God you’re such a problem child.

So it costs you about $4k to have L2 installed I see. That sucks but it isn’t actually that much. It does suck that 240v isn’t ubiquitous. Time to switch voltage? Nearly every transformer supports both these days, you could move into the 20th century, not quite so far behind...
Where did you get $4k from?
For my house it cost $450 to get a 240V 50A line run to the garage. My EVSE was $950 then, iirc. Comparable 40A level 2 EVSE is more like $350-500 these days as the no-name brands have gotten into it. Subtract a bit more for a 32A EVSE and 40A line instead, as that's all most on-board chargers are good for.
I have a detached garage. When I bought the leaf I had an electrician come out to run wire/240 from the box (Which of course, is attached to the house) to my garage. Install of the remote breaker box, 50 AMP breaker in the house panel, and the trench to bury it all in ran me $700 U.S. I did the electrical work necessary to install the EVSE myself in the garage, but it was naught but maybe 100 bucks in parts and an afternoon of my time, maybe another 500 bucks if one hired an electrician?
I can't imagine that in another home with an attached garage and an appropriate breaker panel that installing an EVSE cant be but 500-1000 dollars. If you can swing a new car payment, you can swing an EVSE install.

Okay I'm an idiot when it comes to electricity and someone please tell me if I'm wrong, but aren't all houses here supplied with 240v?
In canaderp? I assume you're all powered by Canadian Geese and Stanley Cup dreams.
But yes, as far as I'm aware, most homes in North America receive 240, and it's stepped down in the breaker box.
240V circuits are just linked 120V circuits with a double pole breaker in your fuse box to make it happen. At least I've encountered that before when I had to run a 240V circuit.
But thats probably not a hard and fast rule. I imagine it varies.

Experience and google supports that 240V service to the house is standard here, stepped down to 120V inside the house as per 'squeeb.
@Adventurous is moar technically correct, which as we know, is the best kind of correct.
Breaker box has 240 from the street (utility), inside the box this takes the form of 2, 120v supplies . Most stuff in your house is hooked up to only one of them. The exceptions being what you noted earlier, dryer, oven, AC, etc. And you're EVSE, should you install one
Yep, for those of us who still have above ground utilities, you'll see 3 wires entering the house from the utility pole, one bare neutral and two jacketed 120V lines.
is not the difference between two out of phase 120V 240V now
Home supply is two 120V single phase lines @180 degrees out of phase.
It also would work if folks would not buy SUVs or large cars or cars with too much power. We could cut the CO2 emissions by half easily if everybody would drive sensible cars that match their needs and not their dreams.
While at it, stop flying as well.

Tesla autopilot was not engaged in recent fatal crash:
Stupid people can do stupid thing all by themselves. The car just has bonus stupidity that wasn't being leveraged.
Autosteer wasn't on. I haven't seen whether Traffic Aware Cruise Control was on.
Just an FYI — “Shooting brake” as a description for an estate car is a language smoosh. The phrase comes from the cart used to haul drinks and snacks around for a hunting party in Ye Olde (and not so olde) England. It is a “shooting break” — a pause in the hunting. Brakes are what cars have to stop with. Makes no sense to mash these two together, but hey, you’re still dealing with Chase Lounges for chaise longues, and Entrees for main courses... so 
The raceway doesn't have a track, just the oval, a parking lot, and the drag strip. The autoX clubs thought the drag strip and oval were "off limits", but when they asked the raceway, the raceway said that no one has ever asked to use them for autoX and that we could absolutely use those as part of the course. Only one guy in a mini damn near hit the wall.
Well that'll make a pretty cool crawler for someone.
Someone who is OK driving a stolen vehicle?
No title is shady yes, but it wouldn't necessarily mean that it's stolen. Looking at the original Instagram post, it appears these were acquired from an underground mining company.
Of course even if it wasn't, you probably couldn't register it anyway.

Bill is DOA. She could sponsor a bill proposing compulsory constitutional carry of full-auto AR-15s for every citizen, but as long as AOC is associated with it, it'll fail. They've spent too much time villifying her as the boogeyman to back down now.
