Sheet E-203 / Schedule of rates
Rates and typical job costs.
The same numbers our estimator uses, written out in full. Your fixed price comes after the site visit, but it will land inside these ranges unless the job is unusual, and we will tell you why if it is.
EV charger rates.
Each line below is one line in the estimator. Add them up, then each end is rounded to the nearest $25.
| Item | Basis | Low | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| Base install | Circuit, breaker, outlet or wall unit mount, first 10 feet | $650 | $900 |
| Run, surface | Per foot past 10, conduit on the garage wall | $14 | $20 |
| Run, inside walls | Per foot past 10, fished through finished walls | $22 | $32 |
| Run, underground | Per foot past 10, trench and conduit | $38 | $55 |
| 48A hardwired | 60A breaker and a hardwired wall unit | $150 | $250 |
| Permit | City permit and inspection | $180 | $350 |
| Load management | If a 200A or 400A panel is short on room | $450 | $700 |
| Panel upgrade | If a 100A or 125A panel is short on room | $3,800 | $6,500 |
Example: 40A charger, 30 feet on the surface, 200A panel with room. $650 + 20 x $14 + $180 = $1,110, rounded to $1,100. High end $900 + 20 x $20 + $350 = $1,650.

Diagnostic fee.
$165 for the trip and up to an hour of testing. It comes off the repair if you go ahead.
Permits.
$180 to $350 depending on the city and the job. Always in the price, never an extra line later.
Financing.
Jobs over $3,000 can be paid over 12 to 60 months through a lending partner, subject to approval. Ask at the site visit.
What changes a price.
- Distance from the panel, and whether the wire runs on the surface, inside walls or underground.
- A full panel, which may need load management or an upgrade first.
- Plaster ceilings, finished basements and tight attics, which slow the fishing.
- Utility work, like moving a meter or a new service drop.
