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.

What distinguishes Level 1 from Level 2 EV charging?
Do I need a specific type of outlet for an EV charger?
For Level 2 EV charging, a dedicated 240V circuit is required, which may terminate in a specific receptacle or be hardwired directly to the charger, depending on the model. While Level 1 chargers use a standard 120V outlet, Level 2 installations necessitate a more robust electrical setup. This ensures sufficient power delivery for efficient and safe charging.
