Fictional business and sample prices. Preliminary estimate based on the answers; final pricing follows an assessment.

Questions included

  1. Where will the charger go? Inside an attached garage Outside, on the house wall Detached garage or a post (needs trenching)
  2. Distance from the electrical panel to the charger Measured in feet (metres also accepted) “I don't know” → uses a stated assumption
  3. Room in your electrical panel 200 A or more, with space for a new breaker · Full or 100 A panel (load management device) · Panel needs replacing “I don't know” → shows a price range

Prices you supply

  • Charger installation (240 V circuit, mounting and testing) Your installed price for each package
  • Permit and inspection A fixed extra when it applies
  • Wire run from the panel Your rate per foot
  • Outdoor mounting and weatherproof fittings A fixed extra when it applies
  • Load management device A fixed extra when it applies
  • Panel upgrade to 200 A A fixed extra when it applies
  • Minimum job priceNo estimate shows less (sample: $900)
  • Assessment rule: Detached garage or postA detached garage or post mount needs an underground run. We'll assess the route on site.

How the price is worked out

Each package has an installed price for the 240 V circuit, mounting and testing. In the sample, Install only is $650 and Charger and install is $1,450. Both add the $250 permit and inspection fee and the wire run at $16 per foot, so a 32 ft run is $512. Mounting outside on the house wall adds $200 for weatherproof fittings. Totals are rounded to the nearest $10. That gives $1,610 and $2,410 before tax.

A load management device or a panel upgrade is added only when the customer's panel needs it. If they don't know the distance, the estimate prices a stated 50 ft run. If they're unsure about the panel, it shows a range from no panel work up to an upgrade.

What you can change

  • Packages, installed prices and the charger you supply.
  • Your rate per foot and the length assumed when the distance isn't known.
  • Panel work, outdoor mounting, the permit fee and which locations need a visit.
  • Your minimum job price and rounding.

What still needs your visit

The load calculation, the actual wire route and anything behind finished walls. The estimate shows its assumptions and says the price is preliminary.
