Hi, everybody! I am trying to figure out what a "good" price is to run power to my new charger.
I am a new (happy) Leaf owner with very little knowledge, so sorry if I ask any stupid questions.
Summary: I want to run power from my breaker box through an existing 100-foot-long conduit to a NEMA 6-50R or NEMA 6-50P outlet. I live in the Chicago area and want to know how much to pay.
Long Version: I just got an AeroVironment charger from my dealer (I can't identify the model number; looks like EVSE-P, maybe?). The specifications on the charger state that it needs 30 amps, 250 volts, and its plug looks like a NEMA 6-50R (maybe P). I need a plug with the appropriate electrical properties to be placed in my garage and hooked up to a breaker box in my basement.
My breaker box is about 100ft away from my garage through an existing conduit. This conduit leads from my breaker box to an existing 240 volt, 20 amp outlet; I'm hoping that this will make the job easy for my electrician. I don't know whether my breaker box and the rest of my electrical supply system have enough capacity.
I would be interested in what prices people would expect/have gotten for this service, both in the case where my system already has enough capacity and in the case where it doesn't. I'm in the (upscale) Chicago suburbs.
Thanks in advance, and I am happy to provide more information about my system and situation.
