Question 1

How much does it cost to install an EV charger in NJ?

Accepted Answer

Most New Jersey Level 2 home EV charger installations run about $800 to $2,000 installed when the panel has spare capacity and the run is short. Cost rises with longer wire runs, finished-wall routing, higher-amperage chargers, and any panel work. PSE&G's residential rebate of roughly $1,500 to $1,750 brings the net cost down significantly. The Malfettone EV Charger Installation Cost Calculator gives an itemized range in under a minute.

Question 2

Does the EV charger installation cost include the permit?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every Malfettone EV charger installation includes the electrical permit, inspection coordination, and the PSE&G rebate paperwork in the base price. There are no surprise add-on fees for permitting.

Question 3

What makes an EV charger install more expensive?

Accepted Answer

The biggest cost drivers are: the distance from your electrical panel to the charging spot (longer runs need more wire and labor), whether the wire must be fished through finished walls or run in exterior conduit, the charger amperage (48A chargers need heavier 6 AWG wire and a 60A breaker), and whether your panel needs a load-management device or a full upgrade to add capacity.

Question 4

Is there a PSE&G rebate for EV charger installation?

Accepted Answer

Yes. PSE&G's Residential EV Charger Program offers roughly $1,500 to $1,750 in rebates for qualifying Level 2 home charger installations, plus a separate rebate toward utility-side service upgrades when required. Malfettone Electric files the rebate paperwork as part of every install.
