Here are some factors that could affect the cost of installation. 

House/Townhouse

There are 3 main factors that affect the installation cost of EV charger

• Type of residence – installation costs depend on whether you live in condo/apartment or house/townhouse. Different type of residence requires different electrical work.
• Capacity – if your load is not enough for EV charger installation, you may need a service upgrade or load management device (DCC-12) to help you manage your load.
• Length of installation –installation cost will depend on the distance of your EV charger from your main electrical panel. The cost will be the lowest if your electrical panel is in the garage, and the installation is within 6m of the panel.

Apartment/Workplaces

• Installation costs depend greatly on the distance between your parking lot and the main electrical room. If your stall is at P1, and the electrical room is on P2, then the installation could be complicated and costly because electricians need to run wires through the floor.

Note: For installation in townhouses and apartments, we need to go into the main electrical room to do a load calculation for the entire complex. Owners need to ask strata for access to central electrical room and strata approval letter before installation.
