I just had 14-50 plug installed in my garage by "Accurate Electric" of Issaquah. it was done very professionally with good work. highly recommended, if you are in this area.

$113 for permit, additional 775$ for the work.
it was about 30ft run in total. From the main panel, he went up above celling (~5ft), another 20ft above celling going side way, 5ft down from celling to the plug. I have 2 supporting poles and the box is attached to one of those pole. He did ask me if I wanted a plastic vs metal box and I've opted for a metal box. Pipe coming down is a plastic one. He also had to move/re-arrange my breakers to make a space for 50A breaker.
their cost is somewhat fixed and I could have it installed right next to the main panel. In that case, it would have been $364 instead of $ 775. & don't forget sales tax + trip fee ($59) on top of those.
1st photo is "work in progress" from the main panel. 2nd one is finished photo of the plug and conduit.

I was just reading in another thread about infrastructure for EV's being exempt from WA sales tax. Would this qualify?
Cheers!
Cheers!
someone should pull up the RCW but a brief reading I did a month ago was that electrical work to support charging is also exempt. So, if your 14-50 is solely for the purposes of charging your car, it should be exempt.

Yes, that might be a problem with a small independent guy that doesn't have an office staff and such.
Just check box 2.b. in the following form, fill out the signature block, and give it to your installer:

You should be good to go. This has worked for many NEMA 14-50 installations. The installer simply needs to keep the form on file. He has no interest in collecting the tax.
