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 portable charger is a mobile cordset that plugs into a standard or specialized wall outlet to charge your car on the go. You need this if you want a backup charging option for trips or if you lack a permanent wall-mounted unit. While it doesn't require a professional install, we can help you assess your outlets to ensure they are safe for frequent use. Costs vary by brand and power capacity. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
