Itemized home EV charger installation example
These are the same quantities and unit prices used by the downloadable app PDF. A cost line can represent measured work, a selected product allowance or a distinct site task. Check which interpretation applies before replacing any amount.
| Work item | Quantity | Unit price | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Site and load assessment allowance | 1 job | $250.00 | $250.00 |
| Charger unit allowance | 1 each | $680.00 | $680.00 |
| Cable and containment allowance | 65 linear ft. | $18.00 | $1,170.00 |
| Protective device allowance | 1 set | $320.00 | $320.00 |
| Cable routing labor | 10 hours | $105.00 | $1,050.00 |
| Mount and connect charger | 1 job | $420.00 | $420.00 |
| Testing and documentation | 1 job | $280.00 | $280.00 |
| Subtotal / example total | $4,170.00 | ||
How the subtotal is calculated
The example line for cable and containment allowance is 65 linear ft. × $18.00 = $1,170.00. This line is one part of the complete 7-item estimate and uses a fictional unit rate.
The document sums the rounded line amounts to $4,170.00. Tax and markup are not included; a zero tax field in a sample document does not mean a real project is tax-exempt. Confirm the actual treatment for the job you are quoting.
Measurement to verify: Measure cable route, mounting position, panel capacity information and parking access before proposing equipment. Selection to verify: Separate charger, cable and protective device allowances from installation labor.
Assumptions and exclusions
A qualified installer must verify service and protective-device suitability before work.
Outside the stated scope: No service upgrade, trench across public land or utility-provider work.
Insufficient capacity or a longer concealed route requires a revised design. If the scope changes after a client reviews the estimate, update the relevant quantities, allowances and written exclusions before sharing a revised PDF.
