That said, after spending $30k+ on a vehicle, how much extra financial burden is installing a 240v outlet?
I recently did this.

100' of 10/3 wire rated for direct bury and 30a
(1) 12 slot, 100a panel
(1) 8' ground rod
(1) 30a breaker
15' #6 ground wire
10' conduit
1.25" x 18" drill bit for holes in the house/garage
Misc stuff

= roughly $250

The L2 charger was $300 from the dealer.
