Leasing an electric car in East Austin

Mueller was built with electric cars in mind and it shows: garages with modern panels, alley access and public charging inside the development. Installs here are usually straightforward and the 7,500 or 10,000 mile band covers most households comfortably.

Further east through Govalle and Johnston Terrace the housing stock is older and mixed, so the survey matters again. Where a garage does not exist, we have fitted outdoor rated units on carport posts more than once. It is allowed, it passes inspection, and it costs about $390 more than a garage wall.

East Austin is also where we do the most lease transfers, in both directions. People move for work, and a transfer at $595 is a far better outcome than an early termination that can run past $2,600. If you are thinking about it, call before you list the car anywhere.

Charging in East Austin

Carport and outdoor installs are common and fully permitted. Budget the extended run package if the panel is more than 40 ft away.

Questions fromthis area

If a question you have is not here, call and ask for a lease advisor. Nobody will read you a script.

The unit and a standard install are included on a 36 month lease or longer. Standard means up to 40 feet of conduit from your panel to the wall, plus the City of Austin permit and inspection. If your home needs a service upgrade from 100 to 200 amps, that is quoted separately and typically runs $1,450. We survey before you sign, so you know which one you are in.

On the Austin Energy EV plan overnight at $0.1175 per kWh, a car using 25 kWh per 100 miles costs about 2.9 cents a mile. The same car on public DC fast charging at $0.44 per kWh costs about 11 cents a mile. Charging at home is roughly a quarter of the price, which is the single biggest running cost decision you will make.

Expect 10 to 15 percent in genuine heat, mostly to air conditioning rather than to the battery. Winter is a smaller effect here than it is up north, and cars with a heat pump lose noticeably less. Sustained highway speed costs more than temperature does: 80 mph on I-35 will use around 20 percent more than the EPA combined figure.
