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.
Public charging stations are useful for longer trips or when you are away from home. These locations vary in speed, ranging from standard Level 2 stations to rapid DC fast chargers. Knowing where these are located helps you manage your range while on the road. If you find yourself frequently searching for these stations, it is likely time to consider installing a private charger at your house. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
