I doubt it's the cost of electricity itself, but rather that the average European uses a lot less electricity (mainly due to more energy efficient appliances and no AC use).

Smaller houses probably help too

The appliances are basically the same--no, American appliances don't generally run on 120v--but I'll bet average house size is the biggest thing.
