Howdy - I'm debating between having a 14-50 outlet installed and charging with the mobile charger or the convenience of having the wall connector where the car will be parked. That said, the car will be parked outside full time with no garage and the wall connector will also be outside.
If Mobile charger, then I'd have a 14-50 outlet attached to the house and back the car slightly into the grass so the cord can reach. I'm ok with this, but would rather ..
If Wall connector, then I'd have an electrician bury about 24 feet of cable connected to the wall charger sitting right where the car would be parked. This seems better than having the mobile connector and cable exposed all the time for home charging.
I was able to get a Gen 2 wall connector with 8.5 foot cable for about $289 and the sparky guy estimated about $1500 for the install including trenching. It's the trenching that adds more to the labor. Would be about the same ($400-500) for the 14-50 outlet if I were to mount the Wall connector to the house, but then I run into the "long exposed charging cable" issue and the 24 foot wall connector would just barely reach the car with little to no slack.
