Every figure on this page is computed from the same dataset that powers the comparison table, not from a survey or an estimate.
Why a median and not an average
A handful of EV chargers cost several times what the rest do, and an average lets those few set a number nobody actually pays. The median is the middle model: half cost less, half cost more. The quartile columns below show where the middle half of each group sits, which is the range a buyer is really choosing within.
