If you've just bought an electric vehicle, you're probably tired of waiting 12 hours for a charge on a standard outlet. Upgrading to a Level 2 charger is the standard solution, but costs can vary wildly.

Factors Affecting Cost

  • Hardware: $400 - $800 for the unit itself (Tesla, Wallbox, ChargePoint).
  • Distance to Panel: Copper wire is expensive. The farther your garage is from your electrical panel, the higher the cost.
  • Panel Capacity: If your 100A panel is full, you might need a heavy-up upgrade ($1,500+).

Average Price Range

For most New Jersey homes with a modern panel and attached garage, a standard installation typically lands between $700 and $1,500 (not including the charger itself).

Don't Forget Permits

In NJ, a permit is required for EVSE installation. This ensures your home insurance remains valid and the work is safe. We handle all permitting for our clients.
