How much does an EV charger cost?
Every figure on this page is computed from the same dataset that powers the comparison table, not from a survey or an estimate.
The short answer
Across the 190 EV chargers in this database carrying a verified price, the median is $477. Half sit between $285 and $750; the full range runs $100 to $6,301.
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.
By output current
| Output current | Priced models | Median | Middle half |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12 A | 6 | $150 | $150 to $270 |
| 16 A | 10 | $140 | $129 to $230 |
| 24 A | 4 | $250 | $250 to $250 |
| 25 A | 5 | $169 | $169 to $180 |
| 32 A | 25 | $355 | $300 to $649 |
| 40 A | 54 | $369 | $260 to $575 |
| 48 A | 52 | $668 | $475 to $899 |
| 50 A | 9 | $494 | $479 to $500 |
| 60 A | 3 | $480 | $480 to $480 |
| 80 A | 16 | $1,975 | $1,200 to $2,848 |
The 184 models above are those carrying both a verified price and a published output current. Of the 234 in the catalog, 0 do not publish it and 44 more have no verified price; a further 6 fall in a group of fewer than 3 priced models, where a median would be one price repeated.
By connector
| Connector | Priced models | Median | Middle half |
|---|---|---|---|
| NACS | 31 | $260 | $174 to $370 |
| J1772 or NACS | 21 | $487 | $449 to $998 |
| J1772 | 136 | $506 | $308 to $770 |
The 188 models above are those carrying both a verified price and a published connector. Of the 234 in the catalog, 25 do not publish it and 20 more have no verified price; a further 1 falls in a group of fewer than 3 priced models, where a median would be one price repeated.
By form factor
| Form factor | Priced models | Median | Middle half |
|---|---|---|---|
| Portable | 62 | $250 | $170 to $300 |
| Wall-mounted | 128 | $615 | $457 to $998 |
The 190 models above are those carrying both a verified price and a published form factor. Of the 234 in the catalog, 0 do not publish it and 44 more have no verified price.

What this does not tell you
These are the prices retailers publish, read from listings and verified against a primary source or left blank. They are not installed cost: delivery, the electrical work and any site preparation are separate and vary more by where you live than by which model you pick. Nothing here is ranked by commission and nothing is called best.
