    No, I’m in the US, I just have seen almost no houses that didn’t already have a 240V three-prong outlet installed for an oven. The places I have lived (except for that first apartment) didn’t even have a gas line available to the kitchen. Maybe this is just an issue with much older homes along the East coast?

      If your house, like mine, was all set up for a gas range and a gas oven, why would it have a 240v outlet (and yes, the house was built in the 50s, but it’s on the west coast). But of course, houses that are all wired for electric ranges, maybe not even have a gas line at all, like some apartment I lived in the past, will already have a 240v outlet.
