wah like that ka?
i would expect it to price in with the car le.

if hybrid then level 1 charging is acceptable ( barely)
but if full EV then the car must com with level 2 charger liao

Anyway- there is cost for the charger, and cost for the installation- as i understand, Level 2 charger need to pull cable from main DB.
i will be a dedicated single phase from man DB, probably the cable is thicker too. The main trouble is hacking and hopefully the routing between DB and the car porch is clear and direct.

I got an issue with this. From what I aware just now, the new cabling started from the meter itself and not the DB box. DB box just beside the garage. But the meter? It's outside leh.
drilling works need to be done somemore..makan modal la with the EV...sigh
Basic installation that they mentioned earlier.

Yes, you may start from the meter ( to be exact, is after the meter)
the idea is, after the meter the main cable will go directly to the DB box.
if you want to take from there, you need to cut the cable, terminate to a junction box then split to 2- 1 for the original main cable back to the DB, 2 a smaller cable to the wall panel.

if this can be done- then it is outside the house.
we still need a place to house the junction box (JB), and concel the cable.
