I have owned an ID4 for two years now and am an evangelist for EV ownership. I have had more than a handful of conversations with people stopped in their tracks to ownership by the cost of adding a charger to their homes. I live in a neighborhood with lots of older houses and I have heard that the cost of upgrading their electrical panel is the blockade. I know there is a tax incentive for the charger but is there any incentives for upgrading the electrical panels? I have heard it costs up to 5k to have a panel upgraded and if you added the charger and the feed to the panel, you could be looking at between 2k - 3k. So you are looking at 8k on top of the cost of the EV.
Yep I run 100A on my panel. I had to get my panel expanded because I ran out of space on it. This was done before even having an EV because I wanted to add panels. That cost me $1200. I then bought the charger and had it installed for another 1k. I live in a top 5 COL area in country too.
