that’s where most of the cost is… all the shit that goes in the ground needed to support fast chargers (utility vault hardware) - dealership won’t ever touch it, but it’s got to be there - and the utility will charge you for every hour of work they have to do.
DCFC station hardware can cost between $50,000 to $100,000. Installation costs for these EV charging stations range from $30,000 to $70,000, depending on the location, size of the equipment, and whether you want it installed indoors or outdoors.
