Professional EV Charger Installation Process

Simple Installation, Professional Results

We start with a consultation to assess your electrical panel and determine the best location for your charger. Most homes need a dedicated 240-volt circuit—similar to what powers your dryer or electric stove.

Next, we pull the necessary permits and schedule the installation. We’ll run the new circuit from your panel to the charging location, install the appropriate outlet or hardwire the unit, and test everything to ensure it’s working properly.

The whole process typically takes 4-6 hours, depending on the distance from your panel and whether any electrical upgrades are needed. We clean up when we’re done and walk you through how to use your new charger.

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

Installation costs typically range from $500 to $2,000, depending on your electrical setup. If you just need a 240-volt outlet installed near your panel, you’re looking at the lower end of that range. If we need to run a new circuit across your garage or upgrade your electrical panel, costs increase. The good news is that Illinois offers substantial rebates—ComEd provides up to $3,750 for qualifying installations, which can cover most or all of your installation costs. We provide free estimates so you know exactly what to expect before we start any work. The estimate includes labor, materials, permits, and any electrical upgrades needed for safe operation.
Yes, EV charger installation requires an electrical permit in most Illinois municipalities, including Coynes. This isn’t red tape—it’s about safety and ensuring the work meets electrical codes. We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our service. The permit process typically takes a few days to a week, depending on your local building department’s schedule. The inspection ensures your new circuit is properly installed, adequately sized for your charger, and won’t overload your electrical system. It’s one less thing for you to worry about, and it protects your investment.
Level 1 charging uses a standard 120-volt outlet—the same outlet you’d plug a lamp into. It’s slow, adding about 3-5 miles of range per hour of charging. For most EVs, that means 12-20 hours for a full charge. Level 2 charging uses 240 volts and charges much faster—typically adding 25-40 miles of range per hour. Most EVs can fully charge overnight with Level 2, making it the practical choice for home installation. While Level 1 doesn’t require any electrical work, it’s really only suitable if you drive very short distances or have a plug-in hybrid with a small battery. For most EV owners, Level 2 is worth the installation cost.
Most modern electrical panels can handle EV charger installation, but older panels might need upgrades. EV chargers typically require a 40-50 amp circuit, which is similar to what an electric dryer uses. During our consultation, we’ll assess your panel’s capacity and current electrical load. If your panel is full or undersized, we can upgrade it as part of the installation process. Panel upgrades are more common in older homes, but they’re often necessary anyway for safety and code compliance. The good news is that a panel upgrade increases your home’s value and improves electrical safety throughout your house.
Most installations take 4-6 hours, depending on the complexity of your setup. Simple installations near your electrical panel can be completed in a few hours, while more complex jobs requiring new circuits or panel upgrades take longer. The permit process adds a few days to the timeline, but we handle that paperwork for you. Once permits are approved, we can typically schedule your installation within a week. Weather can affect timeline for installations requiring outdoor work, but most residential EV chargers are installed in garages or covered areas. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during your consultation and keep you updated if anything changes.

ComEd provides rebates from $1,000 to $3,750, with the highest rebates available for customers who qualify for public assistance programs.

Most customers find that rebates cover the majority of their installation costs, making home EV charging very affordable.
