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.

What's involved in a Level 2 EV charger installation?

This requires running new wiring from the panel to the charger location. The charger is then mounted securely on a wall or pedestal. They ensure all connections are safe and meet code requirements. This provides faster charging than a standard outlet.

What's the difference between Level 1 and Level 2 charging?
Level 1 charging uses a standard 120-volt outlet, similar to what you'd use for household appliances. It's slow, typically adding only a few miles of range per hour. Level 2 charging uses a 240-volt circuit, providing significantly faster charging. This is ideal for home installations, as it can fully charge most EVs overnight. Most new EV owners opt for Level 2 for convenience.
How much space do I need for an EV charger installation?
You don't need a huge amount of space for an EV charger installation. The charger itself is typically a compact unit mounted on a wall or a post. The main consideration is access to your electrical panel and a suitable location for the charger. This is usually near where you park your car. The pros will determine the optimal placement. They ensure it's convenient for you to plug in.
