EV Charger Installation in Denver
Denver is Xcel Energy territory, and the city keeps EV-charger permitting cheap — the electrical permit itself runs about $35, with a little more for inspection. A licensed electrician (required under the 2026 NEC and Denver Energy Code) runs the dedicated 240V circuit, pulls that permit and schedules the inspection. Most Denver installs come in around $500 to $1,200, rising to $1,500–$3,500 if your panel needs an upgrade. Xcel customers on an EV rate can also tap home-wiring rebates.
