Panels under 200 amps often need an upgrade to handle the 40–50 amp draw of a Level 2 charger, adding $1,000+ to the project.
Level 1 chargers use a standard 120V outlet and cost less to install, while Level 2 requires a dedicated 240V circuit and higher-gauge wiring.
Every additional foot of wire run between your electrical panel and the charger location increases material and labor costs.
If your panel is full or undersized, adding a subpanel or upgrading the main panel is often the biggest cost driver.
Exposed runs require rigid conduit (more expensive) while in-wall runs through finished spaces add drywall repair costs.
The South generally offers lower labor costs, though fast-growing metro areas are seeing rates climb. Year-round building seasons mean more consistent pricing and availability.
