Allego charging stations — Bakersfield, CA
Last updated: September 24, 2026
What affects the price
Installing an EV charger isn't a one-size-fits-all job. The final number depends on your home’s existing electrical panel capacity and whether you have enough room for a new circuit breaker. Distance is another big factor; running conduit from your panel to the garage or driveway adds labor and material costs. Choosing a hardwired unit versus a plug-in model also shifts the price. If your panel needs an upgrade to handle the extra load, that will be the largest variable.

If you are a business owner looking to host these stations to attract EV drivers, you will need a site assessment to determine grid compatibility and space layout. These installations are more complex than residential setups due to higher power demands. Total costs depend on site preparation and utility connection fees. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
