The price of a 200-amp service upgrade should not cost more than $25,000. Even in the most extreme examples it shouldn't come anywhere near to that cost.

- Marsymars 4mo ago$25k would be on the low end for what my the electric provider charges for houses located like mine. That's just the cost of horizontal drilling and installing conduit. Pulling the service wire, upgrading the panel, etc. are all normally priced. See https://www.titam.ca/2021/05/cost-to-upgrade-underground-electrical.html https://www.titam.ca/2021/05/cost-to-upgrade-underground-ele... The transformer for my house is two lots away and under a pathway. Would be less expensive to install a natural gas generator and connect an EV directly to that whenever I need to charge it.
- vablings 3mo agoMy argument for pricing is based on the USA. A large majority of homes are connected via overhead hookup and often do not require a transformer replacement since they are oversized a reasonable margin and have been for decades, it only usually requires fairly minimal work. Also, your price is in CAD not USD Also also, for the case that you already have power unless it was installed a long time ago its probably already in conduit and doesn't require any horizontal drilling
