$600 is the average cost of purchase of a *Level 2* charging station (240V). Many of our customers (I work for an EVSE maker) will install our chargers themselves, that is why we make variants with a standard RV plug (NEMA 14-50) so no electrician is needed if you already have a 240V outlet anywhere near where you want to charge. Or you can have an electrician add a 50 Amp RV style outlet which typically costs much less than installing a Level 2 station with hardwire connection. So, yes - you can have an electrician do all the work and supply the charging station and install it for you if you do not want to go online such as Amazon, buy a plug-in charging station and, well, plug it in...
