What affects the price
When you look at the cost of getting an EV charger installed at your home, a few main things change the bottom line. The biggest factor is how far your electrical panel is from where you want the charger; longer wiring runs mean more materials and labor. You also have to consider if your current panel has enough available amperage to handle the new circuit, or if you need an expensive service upgrade. Additionally, the type of charger you choose and the difficulty of running conduit through walls or attics play a role.

Frequently asked in Cambridge
How does installing an EV charger differ in older versus newer Cambridge properties?
In older Cambridge properties, installations often require careful assessment of existing electrical panels, which may need upgrades to handle the load of a Level 2 charger. Newer constructions typically have more robust systems, simplifying the process. Professionals must consider factors like knob-and-tube wiring or limited panel space in older homes. This ensures the installation is safe, compliant, and effective for your specific property.
What are the options for EV charging solutions that I can just plug in?
The simplest plug-in EV charging solution is the Level 1 portable charger that usually comes with your electric vehicle, utilizing a standard 120V household outlet. For faster charging, a Level 2 charger is installed, requiring a dedicated 240V circuit. While some Level 2 units might offer plug-in capabilities for specific outlets, professional installation of the dedicated circuit is always the safest and most effective method.
