I initiated the process today with Bosch. They are ordering the EV charger and shipping it directly to the electrician who will be installing it. The reason I delayed so long in starting this is the $3,800 cost. Per the previous post they do need to run new wiring from the meter to the panel in my condo, replace the panel, and then run new wiring down to where the EV charger will be going. Now that my EV purchasing plans are somewhat firmer, I decided to do this despite the cost.
I'm guessing that unless the city decides to start allowing the installation of new meters, which would reduce the cost considerably, there won't be anyone else taking the plunge in my building due to the cost. What we would probably end up doing is converting several of the parking spaces near our main building electrical panel to EV parking spots, and just wire the chargers into the building supply. And then figure out how to charge individual users of the chargers. That is a bridge we will cross when we come to it.
