I did it myself for $400 including the charger (I only did a 16 amp/3.8kw unit). There’s so many variables, mainly related to existing equipment and distance from panel to have any clue without getting quotes. Could be cheap, or could require a service and panel upgrade.

I’ve also heard some electricians marking up EV work and you may get a cheaper quote if you say it’s for a welder or something. Depends how unscrupulous they are.

I think they’re actually worried about demand. As inventory levels recover to normal, EVs are taking twice as long as gas cars to sell (days on hand). Tesla even had a bad quarter.

I don’t think it’s at all the fault of the UAW given to date none of them are unionized to my knowledge.
