Before you install a home charger in California

The numbers above assume Level 2 home charging is already in place, the electrical work behind that is a real, separate cost that varies by panel, wiring, and local labor rates, not something this page's per-mile math includes.

Ask a licensed California electrician to quote the install before this math becomes a real decision.

Where these figures come from

Every figure on this page traces to a named EIA or EPA dataset, see the methodology guide. California has some of the highest residential electricity rates in the country, see the guide to why the cost varies so much by state for the full picture.
