I believe it will be a dual voltage charger. The new Ioniq 5s & EV6s now come with a similar one. We got a dual voltage charger with our ID.4 from the VW dealer, though it was not a VW specific charger.
So far answers from slate are that it will come with only a 120 v charger. Someone should ask for clarification, showing this page with the conflicting information. If it is only a 120v charger, they need to search their pages in depth to correct.

One big issue is an "appliance outlet" is highly unlikely to be rated and made for continuous use, or plugging/unplugging more than a handful of times in it's lifetime. This is the reason there are lots of stories with photos of burned up outlets.

I think the solution for that is a splitter that allows you to share a dryer plug with your EV charger and limits the power draw to something safe.
