HYPOTHETICAL QUESTION ! Can i run a egc to a 3 wire stove outlet and make it a 4 wire outlet. 2011 code. (single home) ?
 
How about this? I always thought this was for 120V receptacles but it doesn't say that so I think you can run an equipment grounding conductor and be compliant
250.130(C) Nongrounding Receptacle Replacement or Branch Circuit Extensions.

The equipment grounding conductor of a grounding-type receptacle or a branch-circuit extension shall be permitted to be connected to any of the following:
  • (1)
    Any accessible point on the grounding electrode system as described in 250.50
  • (2)
    Any accessible point on the grounding electrode conductor
  • (3)
    The equipment grounding terminal bar within the enclosure where the branch circuit for the receptacle or branch circuit originates
  • (4)
    An equipment grounding conductor that is part of another branch circuit that originates from the enclosure where the branch circuit for the receptacle or branch circuit originates
  • (5)
    For grounded systems, the grounded service conductor within the service equipment enclosure
  • (6)
    For ungrounded systems, the grounding terminal bar within the service equipment enclosure
