Just moved, need a 220v outlet in garage.  Any recommendations on installers? Installers on Tesla website are asking too much for my set-up.

Jaime wouldn’t answer the phone nor it allows me to leave a VM. Any other recommendations?

My first quote to have a contractor connect my (already purchased) JuiceBox Pro 75 was nearly $2,000. I tried to find several other contractors familiar with EVSE and while they knew how to put in a NEMA 14-50 they weren't sure about dealing with the JuiceBox and their prices were still ridiculous. The 75A JuiceBox is wired directly rather than being plugged in to an outlet.

After talking with code compliance and reading up on electrical wiring, I did it myself in an afternoon for under $50 (primarily the cost of the 100A breaker) by opting to put my EVSE next to the electrical panel using the 5 foot of wiring that came with the equipment.

I know this doesn't solve your problem but I wanted to share the difficulty in finding reasonably priced contractors. Seems like as soon as they hear we have an electric vehicle the prices are not the same as, "I need a dryer outlet installed."

Me too.
I did my own with 4ga wire and a 100A breaker from Home Depot.  The charger is right nest to my breaker panel in the garage.
I put the stuff in a metal flex conduit for safety.
