The cable runs me as an electrician about 3.4 bucks a foot. Most electricians will double the wire cost plus a few hours depending on difficulty at around 1-120 per hour, plus the breaker which costs about 30 bucks. So between 6-700 bucks.

Now if your electric panel cant handle another 40 or 50 amp load that will add 2-4k for a new electric panel and service.
