I'll keep this in mind. It's super helpful to know what price is reasonable to pay to run the wire and install the 240v outlet.I bought the non hardwire ChargePoint home flex from Amazon. I like it because it is just one app to deal if in the event I needed to use a ChargePoint public charger. I had a 240v outlet installed by Legacy Electric. My advice on electricians is to shop around. I got quotes ranging from $750 to $1400 to run the cable from my basement to the garage. Go to the Nextdoor app and see which electricians your neighbors recommend. Also, I got a couple shops that tried to charge the Tesla tax right away by asking for service call fee just to get an estimate to which I told them to pound sand. Keep in mind you can get a tax credit of 30% of your total cost between equipment and install.
One thing I'm inquiring about is the EV Accelerate At Home Program with xcel. Seems like a decent deal. You rent either a ChargePoint Home Flex or Enel X Juice Box from them for $13.29 a month that xcel will hardwire for you. They also offer a $500 rebate to offset the cost of running any 240-volt circuit wiring from my panel to the charger location as long as you opt-in to their off-peak charging schedule. Xcel is moving to time of day based rates anyway so charging at night will be far cheaper (and when I would be doing it anyway). Anyone else here use this program?
