    To be fair they are on a third world 110v electrical system which means they need twice the cable size to carry the same current as the UK

      The US has a split phase electrical system, meaning that for high current applications (like charging cars!!) 220v is readily available. The current regular outlets are rated for really has no bearing on this discussion. (No excuses for Americans!)
