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 outlet, similar to what a clothes dryer uses, to charge your electric vehicle much faster than a standard wall plug. You need this if you want to significantly reduce your daily charging time at home. The installation cost typically depends on how close your electrical panel is to your parking spot and whether your panel needs an electrical capacity upgrade. We ensure the wiring meets safety codes. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
