From Assessment to Charging in Days

How much does EV charger installation cost in Cicero, IL?

EV charger installation costs in Cicero typically range from $1,200 to $3,500, depending on your home’s electrical setup and the charging station you choose. Homes that need electrical panel upgrades will be on the higher end of that range. The good news is that ComEd offers rebates up to $3,750 for Level 2 charger installation, which can cover most or all of your installation costs. We’ll help you apply for these rebates and determine exactly what incentives you qualify for based on your specific situation. Keep in mind that the upfront cost is offset by long-term savings. You’ll pay significantly less to charge at home compared to public charging stations, and you can take advantage of ComEd’s time-of-use rates to charge during off-peak hours when electricity is cheapest.
Many homes in Cicero need electrical panel upgrades for safe EV charging, especially if your home was built before 1990 or if you currently have a 100-amp panel. Level 2 EV chargers require a dedicated 240-volt circuit, and older panels often lack the capacity to support this additional load safely. During our initial assessment, we’ll check your current panel’s amp rating and available capacity. If an upgrade is needed, we’ll typically install a 200-amp panel, which provides plenty of capacity for EV charging plus room for future electrical needs. The panel upgrade is often covered by ComEd’s rebate program, and it’s an investment that improves your home’s safety and value. Modern electrical panels reduce the risk of electrical fires and allow your home’s electrical system to operate more efficiently.
Most EV charger installations in Cicero take one to two days to complete. Simple installations where no panel upgrade is needed can often be finished in a single day, while installations requiring panel upgrades typically take two days. The timeline also depends on permit processing through the Town of Cicero. We handle all permit applications for you, and processing usually takes 3-5 business days. We schedule your installation as soon as permits are approved and materials are ready. Weather and access to your electrical panel can affect timing, but we’ll give you a realistic schedule upfront and keep you informed if anything changes. Our goal is to get your EV charger installed quickly while ensuring all work meets safety standards and local codes.
We install all major EV charger brands, including ChargePoint, JuiceBox, ClipperCreek, Grizzl-E, and Tesla Wall Connectors. We can also install any charger you’ve already purchased, as long as it meets safety standards and local electrical codes. For most Cicero homeowners, we recommend Level 2 chargers that are ENERGY STAR certified and “smart” enabled, as these qualify for the maximum ComEd rebate. Smart chargers allow you to schedule charging during off-peak hours and monitor energy usage through smartphone apps. We’ll help you choose the right charger based on your vehicle’s charging capabilities, your daily driving needs, and your budget. Our goal is to recommend equipment that gives you the best combination of performance, features, and long-term value.

Yes, EV charger installation in Cicero requires electrical permits, especially when new circuits or panel upgrades are involved.

This ensures your installation meets local building codes and passes required inspections.
