A standard Level 2 (32A, 7kW) wall-mount install runs €900 to €2,630 in the US, £900-2,500 in the UK, A€1,130-4,000 in Australia, R12,000-35,000 in South Africa, and C€1,130-3,800 in Canada. The unit accounts for 30-50% of the total; the rest is electrical work and certification.

Yes. EV chargers are licensed electrical work. In most regions, an EV-certified electrician is required (OZEV in UK, EV-trained Master Electrician in US/Canada/Australia, wireman's licence holder with EV training in SA). The certification protects you and is required for rebates.
Yes, 2-3 quotes for any install over €1,130. Compare charger brand, cable spec, certification, and warranty. The cheapest quote often skips the load assessment, uses sub-grade cable, or omits the CoC, all of which are dangerous or illegal.
