$580 sounds a lot, until you think $80 for breaker, $50 for wire. That’s $450 to come you your house, test your circuit, read the instructions, install the breaker and cable up to code, and inspection certificate and more importantly have insurance to do so. I doubt that cost would change if you had the HPWC installed the other side of the garage. Its not unreasonable for 6AWG and a fairly simple install to expect $500 labor costs. It’s easy to forget that when you do everything yourself.
You can control charge rate from the car so it's fine to have the HPWC set to max. Comes in handy for visitors with an S or X.
I don’t need to upgrade my panel but my panel is in the basement and need to instal a 60 amp wire, and then run about 40 feet of wire from the basement into the garage to the wall charger. He wants about $1,800.
Our cost to install was $128,929.84. But that was for 42 chargers! Finally after 2 years of work and convincing, we are installing the infrastructure for 42 chargers in the underground parking at our condo. Works out to $3,000 per install, which may be expensive for a house install, but is quite reasonable for a condo install in downtown Toronto.
I think the value of the parking spot with an EV charger will easily fetch a premium, probably much more than $3k for the install.
Do a 40amp (32A charging @ 47~50km/h) yourself and save some moolah. You can get everything at Home Depot and don't even require the disconnect since it's not 60A. Just don't kill yourself

Honestly I think this is bad advice if you don't know what you're doing with electrical. It's super dangerous, when I was younger the panel was open as they were doing work, I literally did not touch anything but I pointed at something inside the panel (a good foot away) and the electricity jumped and shocked me pretty bad (like a taser or maybe worse). Lucky no lasting damage (I hope! lol).
