I used Signature Electric for my Wall Connector installation and they did a great job. They're a Tesla recommended electrician in the GTA and work with Tesla on Destination Charger installations. Contact Clyde at Signature Electric - clyde [@] signatureelectric.ca
Yup, I agree. Just run a surface mount NEMA 14-50R and surface mount the conduit. That is exactly what I'm planning to do in 2 days at my new place.
Cost breakdown:
$15 - NEMA 14-50R https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B000FPDO7G/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
$120 - 10M NMD90 6/3 Wire (most hardware stores like home depot/lowes sells them by the meter, ~$10/meter + tax)
$35 - Combo breaker to replace two 15A - 120V breaker with a combo 15A-120V/40A-240V/15A-120V (looks like this one https://www.amazon.ca/Square-Schnei...5/40/15&qid=1561376687&s=gateway&sr=8-1-fkmr0)
$30 - plastic conduit
$15 - mounting hardware for conduit
Total - $215
I believe most electricians will charge $500-$1000 for a simple install.
I used a local guy, in Markham I think the company is based. When it comes to electrical I'm a bit hesitant.
Masters electrician, knowledgeable. Recommended a few things to me that I didn't think about but charge was very reasonable based on other quotes I got.
Name is Ping 416.918.9289., speaks English and Cantonese. I believe he mentioned he did a lot of these all around the GTA.
Good luck!

Yes, 100 amp panel with gas stove, fridge, A/C, Washer/dryer, and usual lighting and appliances. Off peak charging from 11PM to 6AM at 40amps (32 continuous) is ~47 to 50km/hour. More than enough for daily usage.

Reviving a bit of an old thread vs. starting a new one.
Looking for input on if a price of $800 is in the ballpark to for a 14-50 outlet installed, with a 60A GFCI breaker and requisite wiring to support 48A output (in case I switch later to the Tesla Wall adapter). The outlet will be installed outside with a weatherproof box. Wire run through finished basement about 30' to the exterior brick wall. Price is $200 cheaper if I install the Tesla wall charger.. but add in the $650+tax cost of the Gen3 charger.

I just recently had my 14-50 installed after holding out for almost a year.
I think our garages may be very similar as I'm in a townhome.
My panel is also 100a and my electrician installed a 40a for the 14-50.
The run is like 20 feet or so.
Cost is $500 all in, cash including ESA certification.
I first went to get a quote from Signature Electric, but they wanted $800 to $1000.

Getting a Wall Connector Gen 3 installed later this month. Found a local company in Bradford with Wall connector experience.
#6 wire and 40a breaker
100a panel in the basement to the center post in between my garage doors.
1200 including ESA cert and HST.
got 8 different quotes, all above 1200 and some near 2 grand. crazy.

That is good. I got a quote for $700+tax which I'm ok with. Also..let's not forget new code requirements did require builders to put EV rough in forall new homes...but it was scrapped and taken out a year later sadly.
My builder is including the rough-in for EV charger as standard. It seems like it's gonna cost more than what they are charging me to put the actual plug in if I use an electrician afterwards.
