Can these even be installed in some garages?
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.

240 with an 60 amp breaker (I think...not electrician) isn't that hard to do on newer homes.
But that means you need a dedicated parking space. Some urban areas with street parking don't have that luxury.

The problem was most likely that his service wasn’t big enough to handle another 10 kVA load.

It's not the voltage or the receptacle that is a code issue, it has to do with "Battery Charging". There are special codes that deal with this beyond the actual 240V plug. Outside should not be an issue, inside, can be a an issue.
