Just for a minimum-cost data point, I just helped a friend install the outlet for their charger adjacent to the garage sub-panel. Breaker set, plug, old-construction box, cover, and 2' of leftover #12 wire ran about $30. Their EVSE Upgrade is due back this week.Randy said:The cost for installation really depends on the location it is being installed and the difficulty / ease of that installation. Is the Blink going 2 feet from the electric panel (cheaper) or do they have to run conduit27 feet through the attic to connect the panel to the charging station?
That cost also includes the cost of the permit, right? It did for me...Installation subsidies were higher earlier, but at least you can still get the hardware free with some level of subsidy...
There's a couple of different alternatives available. Choose the Blink install, buy your own L2 EVSE and have it installed (probably more than $600), or have your Nissan cordset upgraded to accept 240v connection through evseupgrade.com and then have an electrician install a 240v outlet. Even that might cost more than $600 for the upgrade and outlet...
Option 4: Have a local contractor run the circuit to the install location, and then have Blink just do the install. It should then be free from Blink, and he'll have the full warranty.Randy said:There's a couple of different alternatives available.
