Mistakes to avoid
Ordering hardware before approval.Ignoring metering and shared electrical costs.Assuming assigned parking guarantees electrical access.
Quote comparison
Review installation quotes on the same terms.
A useful quote should separate charger hardware, labor, panel work, permits, materials, timeline, warranty, and exclusions. If one proposal is much lower than another, ask what is not included.
