What EV charging costs in your region
The assessment, the standard install and the version with an upgrade — plus the four things that decide which one you need.
Transparent pricing
Two numbers: the assessment, then the install
We separate them on purpose. The assessment is worth having even if you never buy an install from us — and about half the time it saves you thousands.

What changes an EV quote
Four variables, all established before you get a price.
What the calculation says
This is the whole question. Panel size alone does not answer it; your actual consumption does.
How far the run is
Twelve feet across a garage wall and ninety feet to a detached garage are different jobs.
Panel space and age
A full panel may need a sub-panel; a Federal Pioneer panel should be replaced regardless.
Charger amperage
A 48-amp charger needs more copper than a 32-amp one, and most drivers do not need 48.
Options, priced on the quote
Chosen once the calculation is done, so nothing is decided while an electrician is already standing in your garage.

Included at every level
The calculation, the permit and the commissioning are not the premium option — they are the job.
- A load calculation before any quote is issued
- A permit pulled and the your local utility inspection booked
- The charger commissioned and tested with your own vehicle
- Cable routing agreed with you before anything is drilled
- Photographs of the finished install for your records
- A one-year workmanship warranty, in writing
If the calculation is wrong, the upgrade is on us
If we tell you your service is adequate and your charger later trips the main under normal use, we do the load-management device or the upgrade at our cost. In seven years and 1,180 installs we have paid for that twice — and both times we told the customer before they noticed.
FAQ
What EV owners ask
Not sure what your panel can take? Send photos to hello@example.com — the first answer costs nothing.
Why charge for the assessment?
Because it is the part that saves people money, and free assessments have a way of always finding an upgrade.
Is the install price firm?
Firm once the assessment is done and the route is agreed. The two things that move it are trenching and a panel with no space.
Do you supply chargers?
At cost plus 12%, or install the one you bought. We have no brand deal and no reason to push one.
How do I pay?
Deposit at booking, balance after commissioning. Card or e-transfer.
Find out whether your panel can carry a charger
Send a photo of your panel and your last two utility bills. Most of the time we can tell you the answer, and the price, without visiting.
