I thought the USA had 240V sockets in rooms where they're likely to be needed, like the kitchen?


In the US 240v sockets are typically found in the kitchen for use by an electric
range, or in a dedicated laundry room for use by an electric dryer. Sometimes
they can be found in a garage. The interior outlets are typicaly located behind
the appliance - in effect dedicated for that appliance and not intended for
general use.
