EV Charger Installation
Most EV charger quotes are wrong because nobody looked at the panel first. The charger is the easy part. Whether your service can carry another 48 amps is the actual question, and it is the one we answer before quoting.
Typical priceFrom $950
Typical Level 2 install runs $950 to $1,900 depending on the run.
What's included
- Panel capacity check and load calculation
- Dedicated 240V circuit sized to your charger
- Hardwired or NEMA 14-50, your choice
- Conduit run finished neatly, not stapled across the wall
- Permit and inspection included
- Charger commissioned and tested with your car
What moves the price
- Distance from the panel
- Every additional 10 feet of run adds roughly $90 in wire and conduit.
- Panel capacity
- If there is no room, a subpanel or upgrade comes first. We will price both.
- Load management
- A smart splitter can avoid a full upgrade on a tight service. About $450 fitted.
- Outdoor install
- Weatherproof enclosure and GFCI protection adds around $200.
Questions we get
Can you install a charger I already bought?
Yes. We fit customer-supplied chargers all the time. We will tell you honestly if the unit you bought is a poor match for your service.
Do I need a permit for a charger?
In every jurisdiction we work in, yes. An uninspected 240V circuit is the kind of thing that surfaces at closing.
How long does it take?
Half a day for a typical garage install. A day if the run is long or the panel needs work first.
