$1,400 to $2,900
Customers typically pay this range, from the sources below, so you can sanity check your total.
Sample prices, not a quote. Customers typically pay about $1,400 on average to install a Level 2 charger at an existing house, and installations can run up to around $2,900 before a service upgrade. One federal source prices Level 2 equipment at about $1,300 per connector and leaves labor and the permit out, which is why that figure sits under this total. The $2,051 sample is the charger, 30 feet of copper, the permit, and labor, with room already in the panel.
In 2019, the International Council on Clean Transportation found the average cost to install a Level 2 charger in an existing home was $1,400 across the 100 most populous metropolitan areas in the U.S (Schey 2022). A separate study by NREL analyzed multiple sources of pricing data and found that installations for Level 2 chargers can cost up to around $2,900, though some projects can cost more if significant electrical or utility upgrades are needed (Salcido 2024).
Accessed 2026-10-12.According to the NLR and INL Levelized Cost of Charging EVs in the United States report, the charger installation costs for residential use vary from $400 to $600 per connector for Level 1 equipment and approximately $1,300 per connector for Level 2 equipment, not including labor and permitting costs.
Accessed 2026-10-12.What the estimate assumes
- The panel already has room for a 60 amp breaker, so this is not a service upgrade.
- The run is about 30 feet and one floor away from the garage.
- The charger is hardwired, not a NEMA plug.
- The city requires a permit and an inspection.
Frequently asked questions.
How do electricians price a Level 2 charger circuit?
Price the charger, the breaker, the copper, the permit, and labor as separate lines. Published install figures center near $1,400 and run up around $2,900 before a panel upgrade. This sample is $2,051 for a 30 foot hardwired garage run.
What should an EV charger estimate include?
The hardwired charger, a 60 amp breaker, the wire and raceway, a disconnect, the permit, and a return trip for inspection. Say whether the panel already has space. A service change is a different estimate.
How long does an EV charger circuit take?
The sample uses 6 hours to pull and terminate a 30 foot run, plus an hour to come back for the inspection. A same-room install is shorter. A long trench or a new service is longer.
Does a Level 2 charger need its own breaker?
Yes. A 48 amp continuous charger is sized on a 60 amp breaker, on its own circuit. The sample includes that breaker and the copper to reach the garage.
Are these prices a real quote?
No. The lines are sample prices so you can see the shape of the estimate. In the app, the estimate follows the job you describe, your answer, and your prices.
