A Level 2 charger installation at my house would cost far more than that.

J.D. Power:

The price for a home charger installation could vary from $0 to $50 000, depending on where you live, what you drive, how fast you want your vehicle to be recharged, and what other changes to your place’s electric circuit require. On average, to get a reasonable price/quality ratio, be ready to spend anywhere from $1200 to $2500.

If you can’t afford a $1,300 charger install, why are you buying a new car?

Average new car price in the U.S. as of Jan 2023 is $49,200. If someone can afford a new EV, I think a home charger would be no problem.

I had two 240V NEMA 14-50 outlets installed and bought an EVSE (charger) for a lot less than $1,300.

If someone is going to buy an EV, which means making larger car payments, the charger purchase and installation cost is a nothing burger. Next they'll complain that the cost of buying an EV means they can't pay their student loans.

If you gotta borrow 1300 bucks maybe you shouldn’t be going for an EV.

If you have to take out a loan for an EV charger, you shouldn’t have an EV vehicle. Idiots.

Can I get a bank loan to finance the therapy I need from being forced to live on the same planet as all these delusional nincompoops?

And the electrical panel will probably have to be replaced. A 100 amp panel is good enough for a lot of homes. That won't cut it for an EV charger. If you have an electric range, you can switch to gas, and free up some capacity in your panel. Or you might be forced to go to 200 Amp service.

But the friggin dummies don't realize that the transmission lines don't have the capacity for everyone switching to EV. We are talking billions of dollars to upgrade the grid.

I can see it now, in the not too distant future, the Charging Station Loan Forgiveness Program.

Sure, install a charger in your garage that charges a battery overnight while you and your family are sleeping. A battery that is known to combust on many occasions and can’t be put out even by the fire department. Good luck with that.
