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.

About this service

Level 2 chargers require a 240-volt outlet, similar to what a clothes dryer uses. To install one, we must assess if your current electrical panel has the necessary space and if your wiring meets safety codes. Older homes might require a panel upgrade, which moves the price up. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
