It seems that for many of you, like me, the ID.4 will be you first EV. Accordingly, I thought it might be helpful to talk about electrical work and the prices folks are seeing.
I plan to use a level 2 charger at home and am currently obtaining electrical quotes (more detail below). I understand prices vary significantly based on the location of someone's electrical panel, the region, etc., but am curious: What have you all paid (or been quoted) for the electrical work necessary to prepare for a level 2 charger?
I'll go first:
Location: Denver
Scope of Work:
-- Add 50A (or 60A) breaker to main panel (last slot remaining);
-- Run 220V line from new breaker in mail panel to garage;
-- Install NEMA 14-50 outlet in garage.
Conditions:
-- Main panel is located on exterior of home;
-- Will have to run new line from main panel via conduit on outside of home (a few bends);
-- Will have to penetrate exterior wall into attic, run wire above family room, and then drop the line into the garage for the NEMA 14-50 outlet;
-- Total run is roughly 40-60 ft.
Quoted prices:
-- (1) $1500;
-- (2) A range of $1320-1700.
I'd greatly appreciate you all sharing your situation and what you paid or have been quoted. Just want to make sure these quotes aren't totally off-base. Thanks.
