EV Charger Installation With a Panel Upgrade
A panel upgrade can turn a straightforward charger install into a larger electrical project. Many homeowners discover this need when the existing panel has limited available capacity.
Typical Cost Range
| Level 2 charger install | $900 - $3,500 |
|---|---|
| Panel upgrade add-on | $1,800 - $4,500 |
| Complex service upgrade | $5,000 - $8,000+ |
When It Is Needed
Panel work may be needed for older 100A service, full breaker spaces, high-amperage chargers, or homes with major electrical loads like HVAC, electric ranges, or heat pumps.
Good Lead Signal
These are high-value projects for licensed electricians because they often include load calculations, permits, inspections, and multiple site visits.
