> we're 240v and you guys are 120v right?

No. The US is 240V single phase, with an option for split phase 120V on smaller circuits. Cooktops, ranges, and ovens are 240V (technically they're usually both 120V and 240V, but the high draw parts are 240V).

Single family homes in America are 240v rails for large appliances, like stoves/ovens, furnaces, and dryers (two-phase).

Technology Connections (YouTube) explains this fairly well:
