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 home charger is a dedicated unit installed in your garage or driveway to charge your vehicle overnight. You need one if you want to avoid relying on public infrastructure. Factors that impact your budget include your home's remaining electrical capacity, the mounting location, and the length of the cable run from the panel. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
