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.

About this service

A Level 2 charger uses a 240-volt outlet to charge your electric vehicle significantly faster than a standard wall plug. Most homeowners choose this option to fully charge their car overnight. The installation process typically involves adding a dedicated circuit to your electrical panel. Factors like your panel’s remaining capacity and the distance from the panel to your parking area influence the total cost. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
