I think NEC dictates that a convenience 110v receptacle must be within 25 ft of a WH so that's probably why the company assumes the plug is enough.

I saw that some of the Chinese alphabet branded options on Amazon did list 240v capable but I'd never trust one for the job.

    That code was only added in 2020 though. So unless your house is only 5 years old, its very possible you don't have a 110v receptacle close to your water heater.
