Looking to basically be able to charge 2 EV at once or at least have 240v for faster charging if we get another EV.
Friend was quoted around $6k to run a new line from his panel to his detached garage as 240v requires a different line than 120v. His panel was at the front of the house so it was a longer than usual run and they would have had to dig a trench for it.
