The cost of setting up an electric-car charging station can vary greatly, according to our latest Commercial EV Charger Price Survey that looks at how hardware and installation costs are shaping up. The 7-22 kilowatt AC chargers – which are found at locations such as hotels and take several hours to juice a battery – can be priced as low as US$238 and as high as $10,000, with a larger, fast-charging 150 kilowatt DC unit costing between US$16,335 and US$135,000.
