You plug in when you get home. You wake up to a full charge. No more planning trips around charging stations or waiting in line while your car slowly charges.
Level 2 charging gives you 25-40 miles of range per hour of charging. That means a full overnight charge for most daily driving. Your EV becomes as convenient as your smartphone – just plug it in and forget about it.
The math is simple: home charging costs about 80% less than gasoline, and you can take advantage of off-peak electricity rates. Plus, your home value goes up because buyers want EV-ready properties.
Jimco Electric has been the go-to electrical service for Chicago homeowners since 1999. We’ve handled everything from flickering lights to complete panel upgrades, and now we’re helping homeowners make the switch to electric vehicles.
We’re licensed, bonded, and insured – which matters when you’re dealing with 240-volt circuits and city permits. We know Chicago’s electrical codes, work with ComEd’s rebate programs, and handle the paperwork so you don’t have to.
Chicago winters are tough on EVs, which makes having a reliable home charging setup even more important. We understand the local challenges and install systems that work year-round in Illinois weather.
First, we assess your electrical panel and calculate the load to make sure your system can handle a Level 2 charger. If you need a panel upgrade, we’ll tell you upfront – no surprises.
Next, we handle the permit application with the City of Chicago and order your charging equipment. We coordinate everything so you’re not dealing with multiple vendors or waiting for approvals.
Installation day is straightforward. We run the dedicated 240-volt circuit, mount your charger where you want it, and test everything. Then the city inspects it to make sure it meets all safety codes. You’re usually charging your EV within a week of the initial consultation.

Every installation includes a load calculation to determine if your electrical panel can support the charger. We install a dedicated 40-50 amp circuit, mount the charging station, and handle all the wiring according to Chicago electrical codes.
We also take care of the permit application and coordinate the city inspection. If your panel needs upgrading from 100 to 200 amps, we handle that too – it’s often necessary for homes built before 2000.
Chicago homeowners can take advantage of ComEd’s rebate program, which provides up to $3,750 toward installation costs. There’s also a federal tax credit of 30% of the total cost, up to $1,000. We help you navigate these programs to maximize your savings.
