THE COSTS FOR INSTALLING FASTER EV CHARGERS

Installation Costs Of Electric Car Charging Stations By Type

“…[A U.S. Department of Energy comparison of installation costs for different types of charging stations in 2011 to 2013 shows] Blink DC fast chargers were installed at an average price $22,626, and the lowest registered cost was $8,500…[T]here is no data for 2015, but for sure it should be somewhat less expensive to install charging points as more places (and persons) are in the business of doing it…[The stations now] are significantly less expensive (some of them at lower power level even don’t need installation because they are equipped with a plug). The average person probably will also take care to keep costs to a minimum, much lower than companies engaged in public projects. If the location is difficult and requires a lot of work/parts/etc. the cost could surge…Results from this study show that DC fast charger installations were by far the most expensive, ranging…to $50,000 per installation, though it is important to note that the DC fast chargers installed had dual ports as opposed to the single port level 2 charging stations. The cost for public level 2 charger installations ranged from about $600 to $12,660. Residential installations had the lowest average installation cost with a mean of $1,354 though individual installation costs ranged from just a few hundred dollars to as much as $8,000…” click here for more
