Depending on where you need the 240 service, and what your panel looks like right now, it could be a couple hundred bucks. It could be a few thousand.
But depending on how much driving you do on a daily basis, and what kind of energy recovery you get, it's very possible you don't need a 240V/level 2 charger.
I have a fully electric car (MachE), and we just use the 120V outlet in the garage. We drive ~9 km round trip to work every day. We burn ~3-5% of the batter in a round trip and get 1-1.5%/hr charging at home, so we never need to charge elsewhere for our normal driving.
You may want/need one depending on how far you're driving each day, but honestly, give it a try without for a while to see if it's worth it/if you need it.
