Garage vs Driveway EV Charger Installation
The best charger location depends on where you park, how close the electrical panel is, and whether the charger needs outdoor-rated hardware.
Cost Comparison
| Garage install | $900 - $2,500 |
|---|---|
| Driveway wall install | $1,200 - $3,500 |
| Pedestal or trenching | $3,000 - $7,500+ |
Garage Pros
Garage installs are often cheaper because the charger is protected from weather and may be closer to the electrical panel.
Driveway Pros
Driveway installs can be more convenient for outdoor parking, but may need weatherproof equipment, conduit, trenching, or a pedestal.
