It's a shame you didn't do this last month before the 30% tax credit expired. You didn't need to wait on the car in order to take advantage of the EVSE credit.And as of now, the federal 30% credit is gone as well, so this will be 100% out of pocket.
Agreed though, these electrician prices just seem crazy. The parts/materials are only a small part of it (<$200, often <$100, exclusive of the EVSE of course). 90% of it is labor. Mine was ~$900 for a pretty easy 35' run through the crawl space. I was tempted to do it myself, but dedicded just to bite the bullet and have them do it all to make sure it's all correct. It was worth it for some of the little things they did (better conduit work than I'd have done, weatherproofing the hole outside, heaver outlet box, etc). Plus 30% tax credit made it effectively $630, so tolerable. $1600 would sting. I'd probably check with a few more electricians, especially independent ones.
