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 home charger is a dedicated unit installed in your garage or driveway that allows you to charge your vehicle overnight. You need this if you want to wake up to a full battery every morning. We evaluate your home’s electrical system to ensure it can handle the load and install the hardware safely. Pricing depends on the distance from your panel to your parking spot. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
