What Affects Your Austin EV Charger Installation Cost?

Electrical Panel Capacity

Older Austin homes often have 100A panels. A Level 2 charger typically requires 40-50 amps. If your panel can't handle it, an upgrade to 200A costs $1,500-$3,000.

Distance from Panel

The further your charging location is from the electrical panel, the more wiring and conduit is needed. Each additional foot adds $6-$15 in materials and labor.

Charger Hardware

A basic Level 2 charger (ChargePoint, Grizzl-E) runs $300-$600. Premium units like Tesla Wall Connector or JuiceBox cost $400-$1,200.

Permit & Inspection Fees

Austin requires an electrical permit for Level 2 installations. The City of Austin charges $100-$300 for permits and inspection.

Property Type

Condos and townhouses often need HOA approval and may require longer wire runs or special mounting. This can add $200-$1,500 to the total.

Available Rebates

Austin Energy and federal tax credits can offset 30-50% of your installation cost. We help you apply for every available incentive.
