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
Level 2 installations involve setting up a 240-volt circuit, which is significantly faster than a standard plug. Factors like needing a panel upgrade or running new conduit through your home will shift the price. You need this installation if you want to fully charge your vehicle overnight rather than waiting days for a standard outlet to finish the job. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
Frequently asked in Reno
How much does it cost to have an EV charger installed?
The price varies based on your home's existing electrical setup and the charger's location. Factors like panel capacity and the length of wiring needed in Reno homes can influence the cost. A professional assessment is the best way to get an accurate estimate. It’s not just about the charger, but the electrical work involved.
How much should I expect to pay for installing an electric car charger?
Expect costs to be influenced by the complexity of the installation. This includes the type of charger, the distance from your electrical panel, and any necessary electrical panel upgrades for your Reno residence. Getting a personalized quote from a qualified installer is crucial for understanding the total investment.

Can I just plug my EV into a 240V outlet?
