EV Charger Installation in Seattle

Seattle is served by Seattle City Light, which rebates up to half the cost of a home charger and installation. A licensed electrician runs the dedicated 240V circuit and pulls the city electrical permit ($150–$250) — and skipping the permit voids both the rebate and your homeowner's insurance, so it's not the place to cut corners. Washington also has no state income tax. Most installs run about $1,200 to $2,500 before incentives.
