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 to charge your electric vehicle significantly faster than a standard wall plug. You need this if you want to wake up to a full battery every morning without waiting days for a charge. Installation involves running a dedicated circuit from your breaker panel to the garage or driveway.
