What a home charger install costs

Hardware

$275–$549

Compatible units in the list above, before any utility rebate.

Electrical work

$300–$1,200

Typical licensed install: dedicated 240 V circuit, permit, and panel check.

Before you buy

Panel capacity

A 48 A charger needs a 60 A breaker. If your panel is full, a load-management device is usually cheaper than an upgrade.
