Home Charger Installation Cost

How It Works

Installing a Level 2 (240V) home charger typically costs $500-2,500 total, depending on your electrical setup. The charger unit itself costs $300-800 for a good quality unit. The biggest variable is electrical work: if your panel is nearby and has spare capacity, installation is straightforward. If you need a panel upgrade from 100A to 200A, that alone adds $1,500-3,000. The federal government offers a 30% tax credit (up to $1,000) for home EV charger installation through the Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit. A Level 2 charger adds 25-30 miles of range per hour, making overnight charging practical for virtually all daily driving needs.
