EV CHARGER INSTALL ESTIMATING.

## EV Charger Install Estimating in New York, NY New York City is one of the most active EV charger install markets in the country. The NYC EV charging infrastructure push — backed by Local Law 55 of 2023 and the state's CLCPA emissions targets — means steady work for licensed electricians running EV installs. That demand also means more competitors quoting the same jobs. Your bid has to be fast and accurate. Estimate.Pro gets you from a site walkthrough to a sendable bid in 8 minutes. No spreadsheet. No guesswork on material costs. ### What Makes EV Charger Estimating Harder in New York **Panel capacity is always the first question.** In NYC brownstones, pre-war co-ops, and older commercial buildings, existing service is often 100A or less. A Level 2 EVSE install routinely requires a service upgrade before the charger ever gets wired. Your estimate needs to account for that scope clearly — not bury it. **Conduit runs are long and expensive here.** Parking is in garages, curb cuts, or lots that sit well below or away from the electrical room. A 150-foot conduit run in EMT through a concrete parking structure is not the same job as a 20-foot run in a suburban garage. Estimate.Pro lets you log actual conduit lengths from your AR-assisted walkthrough and price them at your saved material costs. **DOB permits add real time and cost.** The NYC Department of Buildings requires electrical permits for EV charger installs, and expediting matters when the customer wants the unit online before their lease EV arrives. Your estimate should show the permit line item explicitly so customers understand it's not padding. **Utility interconnection applies to some jobs.** Con Edison has an EV make-ready program, and certain commercial installs may qualify for rebates or require utility notification. Knowing this upfront changes your scope conversation with the client. ### How Estimate.Pro Handles the NY EV Scope When you open an EV charger install job, the app walks you through a structured scope: service size, panel location, charger tier (Level 1 / Level 2 / DCFC), conduit route, dedicated circuit breaker, GFCI requirements, and any trenching or core drilling. Each line ties to NEC Article 625 — the governing article for EV charging system wiring — so your scope document holds up if a DOB inspector or general contractor asks questions. AR measurement on supported devices captures wall distances and conduit routing paths on-site. Photos taken on unsupported devices are flagged as estimates, not hard numbers. You control which figures go into the bid. Material costs pull from your saved workspace. Labor rates are yours to set. The app doesn't override your numbers with national averages that don't reflect NYC union or non-union rates. ### Pricing That Fits Your Shop - **Free tier** — core estimating, no credit card, no time limit - **Pro — $39/seat/mo** — full estimate history, saved cost data, PDF export - **Elite — $79/seat/mo** — Stripe Connect invoicing (0% platform fee), invoice exports, advanced workflows - **Crew — $399/mo flat** — unlimited seats for larger install teams Stripe Connect on the Free tier carries a 3% platform fee.
