Adding a car charger at home usually means a new 240-volt circuit from the panel to the garage or driveway. In the Dallas permit file the declared value of that work had a median of $1,200.
The declared value is for the electrical work. The record does not say whether the charger itself is part of the figure.
What stands out
- Half of all jobs were declared between $795 and $2,000.
- One job in ten was declared at $5,000 or more.
What this number is, and is not
- It is the job value a contractor declared on a City of Dallas permit application. It is not an invoice, and the city does not audit it.
- It covers work done under a permit inside the city limits. Jobs done without a permit, and jobs in the suburbs, are not in the file.
- It describes the spread of past jobs. It is not a quote for your home.
- How we picked these permits: Electrical permits whose description names an EV charger, car charger or vehicle charging.
Before you sign
- Put your quote next to the middle-half range above. If it sits outside, ask what is different about your job.
- Ask whether the price includes pulling the city permit, and ask for the permit number.
- Get the scope in writing: the circuit size in amps, the distance from the panel, and whether the panel has room or needs work first.
- Texas licenses electricians and electrical contractors through the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR). Search TDLR licenses.
