EV Charger Installation Cost in Kent County
Pricing depends on circuit size, wire length, and panel capacity.
Below are typical starting prices when the charger is installed near the electrical panel inside a garage:
Circuit Size | Starting Price |
20 Amp (Level 1) | Starting around $770 |
30 Amp | Starting around $885 |
40 Amp | Starting around $1,020 |
50 Amp | Starting around $1,135 |
60 Amp | Starting around $1,420 |
If your charger is mounted next to your electrical panel in the garage with minimal wiring distance, installation can often remain near these starting prices.
What Increases EV Installation Cost?
Every home is different. Pricing may increase if:
If your panel is on the opposite side of the home from your garage, additional wiring increases material and labor cost.
Some installations require surface-mounted conduit for code compliance or aesthetics.
If wiring must run underground to a detached garage or exterior location, trenching increases cost.
If your home is fully electric or near maximum load capacity, we may need to:
- Perform a load calculation
- Upgrade your electrical panel
- Install a subpanel
- Replace the main panel if no breaker space exists
If your home already has a 200-amp panel but no breaker space, we may install a subpanel instead of replacing the entire panel.

Delaware Code Requirements
In Delaware:
- Kent County and Sussex County do not require a permit for EV charger installations.
- However, installations must be inspected and meet code requirements.
Additionally:
Any 60-amp receptacle or smaller installed in garages or exposed to moisture (such as kitchens or certain outdoor areas) must be GFCI protected.
We ensure all installations meet current NEC and Delaware standards.
When a Panel Upgrade Is Needed
Some homes — especially older properties — may not have enough electrical capacity for a Level 2 charger.
If your home:
- Has a 100-amp panel
- Is fully electric
- Has no breaker space available
You may need a panel upgrade or subpanel installation.
We evaluate this during inspection and provide clear recommendations.
