$240,000 IS insane!

My electrician installed a trenched 240VAC line to the detached garage to provide electric power to charge three EVs, L2 charging, a new more capacious subpanel and several dedicated 20A breaker fed gFIs. My landlord had some cheap electrician wire to the 120V hot and neutral to the existing wiring and then find any convenient GND, but not via a dedicated 20A breaker which is modern code.
