Since I had room in the panel for an additional breaker installing a level 2 EVSE (charger) on the driveway side of the house was only $350. I paid $550 for the charger itself. Total cost $900. Offsetting that: - $500 rebate/credit from GM for buying a Chevy Spark EV and a charger. - $500 cash from PG&E - $150 or so federal tax credit - Increased value of my house with EV charger.

Overall, I think I made about $500 on this install.

Best part, I haven't been to a gas station more than a dozen times in the last four years. I love not going to gas stations.
