I was quoted 1200 for just the install, my electrical box is at one of my house and it had to go through a room into my garage corner (about 20 feet). Was shocked, but apparently the cabling is really expensive. Luckily had someone that did it for a living and installed for free. So much better then using the normal wall outlet though

240v dedicated taps don't come cheap. Having two 240v taps installed this morning, will cost about $1300. That's without a proprietary charger. I decided to just use standard 240v chargers for our Mach-E. It's slower than the proprietary Ford charger, but not by much.
