$780 here outside of Boston to have our Level 2 charger installed on the side of the house. I originally wanted it mounted on the fence or a post closer to the driveway but that would have required digging and added $2k to the project... I'll live with the slight inconvenience of it on the house to save $. I still need to install the holder for the cable, right now I'm lazy and been coiling up on the hose rack

Mine was pretty easy to run from the main power feed at the meter through the wall into the garage, had a dedicated 20 amp 120 outlet installed as well as the 240 NEMA 6-50 outlet and small breaker panel. Total cost for the electrical work was 400 dollars. Not including the EVSE of course.

My electrician charged me $379 for the install including all labor and materials including a new breaker and outlet. It is about 15' away from my breaker box. I could have done it myself but as usual it would have taken 4 trips to Home Depot and I would wonder if my house would burn down or I violated any electrical wiring codes. Instead I drank a cold drink while I waited the hour for the install to occur then plugged in my Grizzley and was charging away.
What kind of charging unit did you go with? Or are you using the standard issue?
 
We got a 50a circuit installed, with an N6-50 receptacle, about 2 feet from the main box in the garage, for ~$220 (install and parts).

Then like a couple of the folks above, I'm running a Grizzl-E, 40a, N6-50 and it's the Smart model (24' HD charging cable, WiFi). Great product, beefy construction (comes out of Canada), even the mounting bracket is nicely designed (big 2-piece SS bracket with a pin release). We got ours before any of the price hikes, and when the Smart option was only $40 more, $479 delivered (direct from United Chargers).

Not doing a whole lot with the Smart features, flashed new firmware a few times, and fiddled around in the reporting function (where you can track usage, etc.)

FWIW, this charges both our 4xe (32a max, the built-in J1772) and our Tesla M3P (40a, using the Tesla supplied adapter). Works perfect for both and easily shared.

Who’d you use? I’m west of Boston and looking to get a charger installed. How’s charging outside? Jeep will be parked in the driveway so no cozy garage charging.
 
Electrician just left, $275 for a 220v and a 110v gfi outlet install with parts. They are literally right under the box so it took a bout 45 minutes start to finish. I still haven't pulled the trigger on the level 2 charger I wanted to get. It's between the AMPROAD iFlow P9 package that has an adapter for 110v or MUSTART. I want a portable Level 2 with options since I plan on moving in the next few years.
 
Mustarts love to melt charging ports.


Stay away from the knock off chinese brands.


 
We spend an additional $450 to run 220v 50a service to our garage to install a Tesla Connector (I have the adaptor that takes Tesla to SAE J1772). As a caveat, we were already doing a major electrical upgrade to the house as part of a remodel.
