EV CHARGER INSTALL ESTIMATING.

## EV Charger Estimating in Orlando Moves Fast — Your Bids Should Too Orlando sits inside one of the highest EV adoption corridors in Florida. Orange County and the surrounding I-4 corridor have seen consistent growth in both residential Level 2 installs and commercial DC fast-charger deployments — driven by new construction in Dr. Phillips, Lake Nona, and Horizon West, plus hospitality and theme-park operators adding charging amenities to parking structures. That volume is good for your pipeline. It also means you are quoting more jobs per week, and each quote has enough variables to eat an hour of your time if you let it. Estimate.Pro cuts that to 8 minutes. --- ### What Makes EV Charger Estimating Different in Orlando **Panel capacity is the first conversation.** Most Orlando-area residential stock from the 1990s and early 2000s was built with 150 A or 200 A service. Newer builds in Lake Nona and Laureate Park often have larger service, but pre-wired EV circuits are still not universal. You need to assess available panel capacity before you price anything. Estimate.Pro's scope builder walks you through a structured panel assessment every time — it becomes part of the scope-of-work automatically. **Run length drives material cost.** In Orlando's sprawling single-family subdivisions, the distance from the main panel to the garage can vary dramatically depending on where the builder placed the sub-panel or whether the home has a detached garage. Estimate.Pro lets you log actual run length during your AR-assisted walkthrough. On supported devices, ONNX-assisted live AR measurement captures conduit runs directly. On older devices, camera measurements are flagged as estimates so the number in your bid is always honest. **NEC Article 625 and Florida Building Code.** Florida has adopted NEC 2020, which governs EV charging under Article 625. Grounding, overcurrent protection, and outdoor NEMA enclosure requirements all flow from that article. Orange County Building Division requires a permit for any new branch circuit feeding an EV charger. Your scope-of-work in Estimate.Pro references NEC 625 line items so inspectors and customers see you know the code — not just the charger brand. **Commercial and hospitality jobs need a different scope.** If you are quoting a hotel on International Drive or a mixed-use project in the Creative Village area, you are looking at load-calculation documentation, potentially a utility-coordination line item, and EVSE equipment that costs an order of magnitude more than a residential NEMA 14-50 outlet. Estimate.Pro handles both job types. Switch between a residential 40 A Level 2 template and a commercial multi-port DCFC template without rebuilding from scratch. --- ### From Walkthrough to Bid in 8 Minutes 1. **Walk the site.** Use your phone to capture panel photos, run-length measurements, and any conduit obstacles. 2. **AI scope generation.** Estimate.Pro's AI reads your walkthrough notes and auto-drafts the scope — circuit size, conduit type, outlet or hardwired EVSE, permit line item. 3. **Price it.** Material costs pull from your saved workspace.
