I’m going to go through some common bad advice I see out there and cover one good way to safely charge on a budget.įirst, I’ll be touching on how professional EV charger installations at home aren’t always the cheapest, breaking down all the components needed to install a home charging station. Home EV charging is one of the things I see EV advocates get wrong more often than the others. My hat (if I ever wore one) is off to you all! On occasion, though, we get things wrong when trying to inform the public. And they get things right most of the time. For example, by helping you find the right EV charging station, they may help you with your overall car charging and ownership experience. They’re providing a valuable service to the community. On social media, there are a lot of awesome electric vehicle (EV) fans who help out new EV owners and potential buyers. Read on as we outline the safest way to save time, money, and hassle for home charging. The hardest the average attorney works for you, is getting you to sign on as a client.Here we have a guide for what it costs to install electric vehicle (EV) charging stations at home, including the process of panel upgrades, permits, and 240-volt circuits. Even though I do not drink, I will present myself smelling like three martinis and a cigar. When I give them a half assed effort, I will tell them, 'What are we to do, I did the best I could, given the circumstances I was given'. Finally I will finish the job after 3 years and 6 months, I will tell them, 'these things take time'. If the client is a lawyer, then I will start the job and drag my feet for a few months and give them the okie-doke whenever they call telling them I am working on it. Further, if the Doctor is a specialist, $4,000.00 would be fair. And if the customer is a Doctor $2500.00 would be fair. If one has not done any of the skilled trades or not even remotely done any electrical work, then stay in your candy-ass lane and pay a tradesman a fair price to do this job. You are going to run two hot wires to the double pole breaker and the ground wire the the ground tap bar inside the sub panel. Just make sure before you start this job and monkey around with the sub panel and breakers, TURN OFF ALL POWER TO THAT SUB PANEL. Popping in the breaker and snapping out the sub panel cover plates was a snap. I had to bore through about 6 2x4s to run my Romex. Since I do not have a right-angle drill(I have just about everything else), the hardest part was drill the 7/8" holes through the shop wall framing 2x4s. Once I arrived home, It took me about 3 hours to do the job. All of this cost me at retail prices at Home Depot, $167.00. Also a couple nominal costing 1/2" electrical connectors. It is a 30 amp double pole breaker, 25 feet of 10/2 with ground Romex and a 250v./30 amp outlet in a new 2 gang metal electrical outlet box. For all it's worth, I just ran a new service from the sub panel in my shop.
