Sounds like you need 60k to run a plug in drill, the cost of an EV charger is inconsequential compared to the overall problems with your house.

Also, if you can charge the lawn mower, then you can charge the EV. They literally use the same socket. EV chargers also de-rate to 80% of the maximum load for the socket you are using, so whether you believe it or not, an EV is easier on your crappy old wiring than that peaky drill is.
