What in the... A Level 2 charger is less than $500 online, and requires some rather simple wiring, even if you wanted to use an electrician's services, it would only take them a couple of hours maximum. Can the people purchasing the $43,000 Mustang Mach-E mentioned in the article really not afford the extra $1000 it takes to install Level 2 charging?
- dbt00 5y agoYou might need to: Run a new line to where you park. Upgrade your electrical box. Upgrade the electrical feed from the utility. Reroute other things near where you want to charge the car for safety reasons. (My gas meter is basically exactly where I'd want to put my charger). Rent a house you don't want to pay to upgrade. Rent an apartment with shared parking you can't control. Only have street parking available.

- hamandcheese 5y agoAt my SF apartment, a very old building in the Richmond district, I was quoted $3200 to install a 40 amp circuit to my parking spot. It is my legal right in California to have this installed (at my own expense) but... is it worth it? I don’t even know how long I will stay here.
