What drives EV charger cost in Sunnyvale?
Sunnyvale's housing stock skews newer than Peninsula cities (1960s–90s), which usually means 200A panels and simpler electrical work. The most common cost factor here is detached garages — many Sunnyvale homes need a short conduit run from house to garage or a small sub-panel, which we price clearly and itemize in every quote. SVCE's own home charger rebate closed in September 2025; PG&E's residential charger rebate still applies.
Panel reality in Sunnyvale
Most Sunnyvale homes have 200A service — straightforward installs are the norm, complex panel work is the exception.

30–50 ft run, exterior conduit, or detached garage with existing service. Quoted after photos.
