EV Chargers, a car that is always full

It usually starts with a car you have been charging on a wall socket. The hard part is not the work — it is that every EV charger company sounds equally sure of itself, and you get one guess. We check licence and insurance before we introduce anyone, and we record the date we checked.

EV Chargers in short

Home EV charger service means one thing in practice: a licensed electrician running a dedicated 240-volt circuit to a Level 2 charger, pulling a permit, and getting it inspected. Bob Vila puts the national average at $959 with a typical range of $546 to $1,374, while Level 2 labor specifically runs $1,200 to $2,000. Level 1 charging needs no installation at all if a suitable outlet already exists.

A home EV charger install averages $959 nationally, with a typical range of $546 to $1,374, per Bob Vila's 2026 data. Level 2 hardware runs $600 to $1,200 and Level 2 labor $1,200 to $2,000. Permits typically add $100 to $200. The wildcard is a panel upgrade at $1,500 to $4,000, which is why the top and bottom of the range are so far apart.

Why a pro gets to be on this list

Most sites sell your number to whoever pays the most for it. We check the EV charger companies we match you with, and we publish the date we checked so you can hold us to it.

Licence checked

We look up the licence with the issuing state or local authority and record the date we checked it.

Insurance confirmed

General liability and, where it applies, workers’ compensation — confirmed with the carrier, not taken on trust.

Reviews read, not counted

We read the recent negatives as well as the average, and we look at how the pro answered them.

Re-checked, not set and forgotten

A licence that lapses drops the pro out of matching. Every record carries the date it was last verified.

Zero reviews. On purpose.

We’d rather show you nothing than show you someone else’s reviews.

Plenty of sites fill this space with reviews scraped from elsewhere, or written for them. We don’t. The first EV Chargers review on this page will come from a homeowner we matched, after their work was finished and paid for.

FAQ

EV Chargers questions, answered

The questions homeowners ask us most about EV Chargers.

About $959 nationally, typically $546 to $1,374, per Bob Vila's 2026 data. Level 2 hardware is $600 to $1,200 and Level 2 labor $1,200 to $2,000, before any panel work.
Only if you regularly drive more than about 40 miles a day in a fully electric car, or your car has short dwell time. Below that, ENERGY STAR's guidance is that the Level 1 cordset is adequate and needs no installation.
Usually for Level 2, at typically $100 to $200, but it's a local determination. DOE's guidance is that permits may be required from local building and permitting authorities — confirm with yours.
The IRS states the individual credit covered property placed in service at a main home from January 1, 2023 through June 30, 2026, at 30% up to $1,000 per item, and only in qualifying census tracts. Check the IRS page and a tax professional for your situation before assuming eligibility.
Maybe. AFDC notes some homes have insufficient capacity for Level 2, though an electrician can add circuits. A new breaker box runs $1,500 to $4,000, which is why an in-person assessment comes before the quote.

The wrong EV charger hire costs more than the right one.

The charger is the cheap part. The panel capacity and the run to the garage decide the real cost, and only a site visit finds them. Getting matched takes about a minute, costs nothing, and you can walk away from every quote you receive.
