What affects the price
Installing an EV charger isn't a one-size-fits-all job. The final cost depends on your home’s existing electrical setup and how much distance we need to cover from your panel to where your vehicle parks. If your electrical panel needs an upgrade to handle the extra load, or if the wiring requires trenching through concrete or drywall, those factors push the price higher. We evaluate your specific garage or driveway setup to provide a clear estimate. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
