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

Public charging stations are units located in malls, parking garages, or along highways that allow you to charge away from home. You rely on these for road trips or if you lack home charging access. If you are a business owner interested in hosting these stations to attract customers, we provide the installation services to get the equipment connected. Installation costs are typically higher for public sites due to utility coordination and trenching. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
