I'm in the UK where every home already has 230v power at the consumer unit/breaker panel.
I don't have an EV charger, but I did have a 32A 230v power feed installed to my detached garage, suitable for a 7.4kW EVSE in the future. Parts and labour cost less than $650. It was a day's work for one man; he used armoured cable that doesn't need to be buried very deep, and could cross paved areas just cutting a 2" slit.
This was in a high cost-of-living area, a qualified and well reviewed electrician, and I didn't bother to shop around for multiple quotes.
