    1. Check to see what your circuit is rated to. You may be able to boost your L1 charging via your infotainment system to a higher Amperage.
    2. What was the quote for? If its just installing the outlet you can do that yourself if you know how to do basic electrical work and watch a youtube video or get a quote from a different electrician.

    For my first house I had 4/3 AWG wg (4 gage wire, 2 hot and 1 neutral and a ground) already running to my dethatched garage. Qmerit approved electrician quoted me at $1800 minus a $1000 credit from GM. For $360 and an afternoon of cussing I installed a new sub panel and the outlet and was charging that night.

    For my new house…it was 1950s 12AWG running to the garage through rusty old buried conduit. Job was way too big and need it done ASAP so I got an electrician for $2K.
