Home charging setup cost

[Mrr82]

This was the final quote. Sounds like it includes the wall connector...bit unclear? Seem semi reasonable? Ended up being 50 feet from the panel.

I am doing it myself as we speak and I am in Southern CA. Bought all the parts this weekend. Fortunately, my location is 2' feet away from my main panel. Total cost.

50 AMP breaker: $9.48
4' 6/3 cable: $12.00 ($3 per ft)
4' 3/4" flex conduit: $4.00 ($1 per ft)
3 pack connectors conduit connector: $3.50
Wiring caps: $3.98.
Total: $32.96 + tax

Maybe add $10 for some weather sealant caulk and patching material.

If I was running 100', almost all your cost will be in wiring and conduit. Couple of junction boxes, materials should be about $450.

I am not an electrician but have some electrical/mechanical training and experience. Electrician can charge $60-$100 per hour and I think it'll be a 8 hr day's work for 100', at most. $1,000 is reasonable but $1500 is too much.

This is not legit Romex in conduit for wet conditions ...I assume this is outside as u mentioned weather caulking ...just use thhn

Cost may be a bit more as I got $500 (labor+materials) to run gauge 6 for 50 feet with 60 amps breaker and Tesla wall connector installation. I have to buy the wall charger from Tesla myself for $530..so in my case $1030 approx. But it is nice to see they offer 4 year warranty, so might be worth it if the difference is not much from local electrician.

I'm looking to set up my home charging with the 14-50 NEMA plug and get the adapter. I was planning on having someone I know put it in for me since they know what they are doing and its a lot cheaper. I wasn't think to much about it but when I was reading something the other day it dawned on me. Technically I need to get a permit I guess to add the plug. What is everyone take on getting the permit? I feel like its a waste since its being installed properly and I can use that money on getting better accessories for my car.

$350 to install a NEMA 14-50 about 15’ from my panel in Houston, TX.
