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.

A Level 1 charger uses a standard 120V outlet and charges very slowly. A Level 2 charger uses a 240V circuit, similar to an electric dryer. This provides much faster charging, typically overnight. The pros we work with install Level 2 chargers for most homeowners.
While some 240V outlets might exist in homes, they aren't designed for continuous EV charging. Dedicated EV chargers have built-in safety features. They communicate with your vehicle for optimal charging. The specialists will ensure your installation meets all safety standards.
Several factors affect the total cost. The distance from your electrical panel to the charger location is one. Your panel's capacity and whether it needs upgrades are also important. The type of charger you choose will also influence the price. We provide a free quote to cover these details.
