Level 2 charger — Thousand Oaks, 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.

The installation process typically involves adding a dedicated circuit to your electrical panel.
