I had no 220V service in my garage so I had to have it pulled from my breaker panel. Had to replace the beaker panel as well (Zinsco) for a modern one. Cost me about $4500. The electrical people said if I was using it to power my Level 2 charger a GFCI breaker was required. Since I also wanted to occasionally use this new outlet for my TIG welder they also told me that the GFCI may not like the welder and it may trip out. Since then I've tried my welder using TIG mode (AC and DC) and conventional stick welding (AC and DC) without any issues. It was a brand new modern welder, not the typical AC/DC stick welder.
