Never Wait at Charging Stations Again

Home EV charger installation changes everything. You plug in when you get home, and your car charges overnight while you sleep. No more range anxiety, no more waiting, no more wondering if the public station will be working when you need it.

With a Level 2 home charging system, you’ll add 25-40 miles of range per hour of charging. That means even a completely drained battery is ready for your morning commute after an overnight charge.

Professional EV Charger Installation Process

Simple Process, Professional Results

First, we evaluate your home’s electrical system to determine if your panel can handle the additional load. Most homes need a dedicated 240V circuit for Level 2 charging, and we’ll check if your current setup can support it safely.

Next, we handle all permits and paperwork. Illinois requires proper permits for EV charger installation, and we know exactly what’s needed to keep your project compliant and your rebates valid.

Then we install your charging station. We’ll run the proper wiring, install the dedicated circuit breaker, mount your charger in the optimal location, and test everything to ensure it’s working perfectly. Most installations take 2-4 hours, and we clean up completely when we’re done.

How long does EV charger installation take at my home?

Most residential EV charger installations take 2-4 hours from start to finish. The exact time depends on your home’s electrical setup and how far we need to run new wiring. If your electrical panel is close to your garage or preferred charging location, installation goes faster. If we need to upgrade your panel or run wiring a longer distance, it might take closer to 4 hours. We’ll give you an accurate time estimate during our initial assessment. We work efficiently but never rush electrical work – your safety is more important than speed.
ComEd offers rebates up to $3,750 for residential Level 2 EV charger installation. The exact amount depends on your income level and whether you qualify for their low-income program. Most homeowners qualify for at least $1,000 back, with higher rebates available for those who meet specific criteria. You can also claim a federal tax credit of 30% of installation costs, up to $1,000. We handle all the rebate paperwork for you. We know exactly what documentation ComEd requires and ensure your installation meets all program requirements so you get every dollar you’re entitled to.
Most homes built in the last 20 years can handle a Level 2 EV charger, but it depends on your current electrical load and panel capacity. We always start with a complete electrical assessment. Level 2 chargers typically require a 240V, 40-50 amp dedicated circuit. If your panel has available space and capacity, installation is straightforward. If not, we might need to upgrade your panel first. We’ll check your current electrical usage, panel capacity, and available circuits during our assessment. Then we’ll explain exactly what’s needed and give you options that fit your budget and timeline.
Level 2 charging is almost always the better choice for home installation. Level 1 uses your standard 120V outlet and adds only 3-5 miles of range per hour – that’s 12-20 hours for a full charge. Level 2 chargers use 240V power and add 25-40 miles of range per hour. Even a completely drained battery charges overnight, so you wake up ready for your daily commute. The price difference between Level 1 and Level 2 installation is minimal, but the convenience difference is huge. Unless you drive very little, Level 2 charging is worth the investment.
Yes, EV charger installation requires electrical permits in Illinois. Any work involving new circuits, panel modifications, or high-amperage installations must be permitted and inspected. We handle all permit applications and scheduling inspections. We know local code requirements and ensure your installation passes inspection the first time. Proper permits protect you legally and ensure your installation is safe. They’re also required to qualify for ComEd rebates, so skipping permits costs you money in the long run.
EV charger installation typically costs $800-2,000 depending on your home’s electrical setup and the charger you choose.
