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
A Level 2 charger uses a 240-volt circuit to charge your vehicle significantly faster than a standard wall outlet. Most homeowners choose this because it can fully recharge a battery in just a few hours. If you find that your current charging setup is too slow for your daily commute, upgrading to a Level 2 unit is the standard solution. Labor costs vary based on your existing electrical infrastructure. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
