Ovens, induction cooking, electric car charging, dryer etc is already 240V at high amperage. With a dedicated circuit.
EU also mandates dedicated circuits for big appliances, so there is no difference in practice.
The two things I can think of are electric kettle and a raclette machine.
Tools are mostly battery powered those days. A home workshop would most likely be wired in 240 or three phases anyways.
What else are you missing?
- zdragnar 11mo agoAlas, my workshop didn't come with 240 already run, so that was an added expense to get my welder set up. An electric tea kettle that didn't take an hour to warm up would be very nice. My well pump runs on 120v, and when the motor kicks in the whole house knows. 240v has lower voltage drop over distances, puts off less heat due to lower amperage for the same wattage, and since we're dreaming, we could switch over to a sane plug design like Type F or G instead of A and B.

I've been using electric kettles in north america and whilst they take longer, we're talking 5 minutes not an hour. Some hyperbole can be appropriate but you're just being disingenuous here, or you've never actually used a kettle.
