How Much Extra does a Panel Upgrade Add to Ev Charger Installation Costs?

When you choose to bundle an electrical panel upgrade with your EV charger installation, you can typically expect the upgrade to add between $1,500 and $3,000 to the total project cost. The exact amount depends on your home’s existing amperage, specific site conditions, and local permit fees.

Combining these services is the most efficient approach for several reasons:

  • Reduced Labor Costs: Our electricians can run the new dedicated EV charger circuit while the panel is already open, which adds only a modest amount of extra on-site labor.
  • Efficient Permitting: Bundling helps you avoid duplicate permit fees and the need for multiple return trips from our team or city inspectors.
  • Streamlined Coordination: We handle the entire process, including utility coordination for the power disconnect and all required city inspections.

We provide upfront written pricing after a thorough on-site assessment to ensure you know the exact scope before work begins. As licensed, bonded, and insured professionals, we ensure every upgrade meets the latest 2026 NEC standards and local building codes for maximum safety and reliability.
