Most Austin homeowners pay $500–$2,000 to install a Level 2 home charger — and the Austin Energy rebate covers 50%, up to $1,200, so real out-of-pocket is often half that. Use the calculator below to estimate your install and rebate in about 30 seconds.

Estimate your install & rebate
This calculator gives a ballpark using typical Austin pricing. Your real number depends on your panel and the run from it to your charger — we confirm that with a free quote.

What drives the price
Three things move an Austin EV charger install up or down:
- Distance from your panel. A charger right next to the panel is a short, cheap run. A charger on the far side of the garage — or in a detached garage — means more conduit, more labor, and sometimes a trench.
- Your panel’s capacity. If your panel has a free 40–60A slot, you’re in the cheap lane. Older Austin homes on 100A service may need a panel upgrade or a load-management device to add a charger safely.
- Hardwired vs. plug-in. A NEMA 14-50 outlet is usually a little cheaper than a hardwired Wall Connector, but hardwired charges faster and looks cleaner. Both qualify for the rebate with a licensed install.
Don’t forget the rebate
The sticker price isn’t your real cost. Austin Energy refunds 50% of the total — purchase plus installation — up to $1,200 for a Power Partner-compatible setup, or $900 otherwise. A $1,600 install in Austin Energy territory can net out around $800. The catch is paperwork: it only counts with a licensed electrician and, for hardwired units, a City of Austin permit. Here’s the full rebate guide.
