Alberta's energy minister said on #Twitter / #X that upgrading a garage to 200 amp service for electric vehicle charging costs $50,000 or more for most homes.

Does that sound right?

Has anyone done this? What did it cost?

@robsonfletcher You park your car in the garage for 8 hours while you sleep. You do not need 200 amps. I can charge my Tesla M3 on a 40 amp (NEMA 6-50; 32 amp continuous load) circuit between midnight and 4 am usually with time to spare. On the rare occasions when I get home from a long trip with 2% left, it might not be back to full (80% for daily driving) but very easily enough to get me to work and back the next day.
