Never assume buying the model home for a division is going to mean it is built better than all the others... even one from the late 60s.

I have considered putting in a NEMA 14/50 in the garage, but that would require some major electrical work in my house. It would not quite involve rewiring the whole house... but most of it.
I charged my Spark EV on 110V for the 3 years we leased it. I had previously run a separate circuit for just my air compressor so I just plugged the EVSE into that dedicated plug. It took about 10 hours to top off the battery.

(This was on days I didn't charge for free at work)
