EV CHARGER INSTALL ESTIMATING.

## EV Charger Estimating in Kansas City, MO Kansas City's EV charger install market is moving fast. Kansas City Power & Light (now Evergy) runs active rebate programs that pull residential and commercial charger jobs into the metro, and Missouri's adoption of the NEVI Formula Program is pushing Level 2 and DC fast-charger corridor work along I-70 and I-35. That means more RFPs, more competitive bids, and less margin for sloppy estimates. Estimate.Pro gives you a repeatable process: walk the site, capture measurements with AR on supported devices, and have a sendable bid in 8 minutes. --- ### What Makes EV Charger Estimating Different in Kansas City **Panel capacity is the first question every time.** Older housing stock in neighborhoods like Westside, Brookside, and Northeast Kansas City frequently runs 100-amp services. Before you quote a Level 2 EVSE install, you need to know whether a panel upgrade is in scope. Your estimate has to reflect that — a flat-rate charger quote that omits a 200-amp upgrade leaves money on the table or blows up the job. **NEC 625 compliance is non-negotiable.** Article 625 governs EV charging equipment: branch-circuit sizing, GFCI protection, cord management, and listed equipment requirements. Kansas City follows the 2020 NEC as adopted by Missouri. Every line item in your estimate should map to code-compliant material specs so the AHJ review goes clean. **Trenching and conduit runs add real cost.** Commercial jobs in the Power & Light District, the Crossroads, or suburban office parks at Town Center Plaza often require 100-plus feet of conduit in asphalt or concrete. That's a scope item many competitors underquote. Estimate.Pro lets you log conduit runs, trench footage, and restoration costs as separate line items so nothing disappears into overhead. **Evergy rebates change your customer conversation.** Evergy's residential EV charger rebate (currently up to $500 for qualifying Level 2 chargers) and their commercial demand-management incentives affect whether a customer will approve the job. When your estimate clearly separates equipment cost, labor, permit fees, and rebate-eligible line items, you close faster. --- ### How Estimate.Pro Works for EV Charger Installers **1. Walk the job.** Use the in-app walkthrough checklist built for EV installs: service size, panel location, distance to charging location, conduit path, surface type, and load calculation inputs aligned with NEC 625.42. **2. Measure.** On supported devices, ONNX-assisted AR measurement captures conduit runs and wall dimensions live. Photos on other devices generate estimates flagged as such — no silent errors. **3. Scope auto-draft.** The AI scope builder turns your walkthrough notes into a line-item scope of work: panel capacity check, dedicated 40A or 50A branch circuit, conduit and wire, EVSE mount, permit allowance, and inspection hold. Edit anything. **4. Price it.** Your saved material cost workspace holds your supplier pricing for wire, breakers, conduit, and charger units. Labor rates default to Kansas City metro averages and you adjust to your crew's actual cost. **5. Send it.** PDF or client-facing link. If you're on Pro+ or Elite, Stripe Connect is built in — $0 platform fee, deposit collection on acceptance. Median time from walkthrough start to sendable bid: 8 minutes. --- ### Pricing That Fits Your Shop - **Free forever** — no credit card, no time limit, core estimating included - **Pro — $39/seat/mo** — saved cost workspaces, full AR measurement, unlimited estimates - **Elite — $79/seat/mo** — Stripe Connect with 0% platform fee, invoice exports, advanced workflows - **Crew — $399/mo flat** — whole shop, unlimited seats --- ### Built for 25 Trades, Including Yours Estimate.Pro supports 25 trades. EV charger install is a first-class workflow, not a workaround inside a generic construction app. The checklist items, scope language, and code references are specific to EVSE work — not copy-pasted from a residential electrical template. If you're bidding charger installs in Kansas City — residential garages in Leawood, commercial fleets in the West Bottoms, multifamily in Midtown — this is the tool that matches how you actually work a job.
