Arizona EV Charger Installation Cost Estimator

Estimate the total cost to install an EV charger at your Arizona home or business, including equipment, electrical work, permits, and optional utility panel upgrades. Figures reflect Arizona labor rates and APS/SRP utility upgrade costs.

Charger Level

Level 1 (120V / 1.4 kW) – Standard Outlet Level 2 (240V / 7.2–11.5 kW) – Most Common Home DC Fast Charger (50–150 kW) – Commercial

Charger Equipment Tier

Basic / Entry-Level Mid-Range (Most Popular) Premium / Smart Charger

Installation Location

Attached Garage Exterior Wall / Carport Commercial / Parking Structure

Distance from Electrical Panel to Charger (feet)

Typical garage install: 10–40 ft. Longer runs increase conduit/wire costs.

Electrical Panel Upgrade Needed?

No – Panel has capacity (200A+) Add Dedicated Breaker Only (~$150–$300) Upgrade 100A → 200A Panel Upgrade 200A → 400A Panel (commercial/DCFC)

Pull City/County Permit?

Yes (recommended – required in most AZ cities) No (DIY / unpermitted)

Trenching Required? (outdoor/underground run)

No Yes

Trenching Length (feet)

Apply APS / SRP / AZ Utility Rebate?

No Rebate APS EV Charger Rebate ($100–$250) SRP EV Charger Rebate (up to $250) TEP Rebate (up to $200)
