What Affects Level 2 Home Charger Installation Cost in California?
Installation cost depends mostly on your home’s existing electrical service. A 200-amp panel near the install site generally keeps costs lower. Homes with 100-amp service may need a panel upgrade or a dedicated subpanel.
Southern California Edison notes that panels under 200 amps often need an upgrade for a Level 2 charger.
The Daytona’s 11 kW onboard charger works with 240-volt Level 2 power. Dodge estimates a 5% to 80% Level 2 charge in about 6.8 hours, which fits an overnight window. For drivers commuting near Claremont, home charging means less planning around public stations.
| Home Charging Factor | What to Know |
|---|---|
| Onboard charger | 11 kW |
| Level 2 charge, 5% to 80% | About 6.8 hours (Dodge estimate) |
| 200-amp panel near install site | Generally lower installation cost |
