The lack of reliable Level 2 charging at home (that's a 240-volt plug)
Can these even be installed in some garages? We tried to get an additional plug installed in our garage a few years ago and the electrician said it wouldn't be to code and he couldn't do it. I wanted an outlet without a GFCI, so maybe that had something to do with it.

240V in a garage isn't kosher? Or is it the EV charging hardware that's the issue?
I always figured I could put 240V anywhere I wanted, as long as there's a roof and walls.

I don't recall anything in the NEC about not being able to mount a 240V in a residential garage. Could be a local requirement though. I'd assume he could have mounted another branch circuit box external your main panel otherwise.
Maybe he just didn't want frick with doing all that work.

Seriously? ALL power that comes into your breaker is 240V. Power into your house is 110 so only a matter of rewiring your set up from the main box.

Yeah I had the same issue when I built my house. So I let him install it (so it would pass inspection) then the first weekend I was there I removed it and installed a regular plug. My deep freeze was going to be plugged into it and I did not want it tripping.
