Forget the stress of finding available charging stations or waiting in line at public chargers. With a professionally installed home EV charging station, you’ll have the convenience of charging overnight while you sleep.
Your electric vehicle will be ready for every commute, every errand, and every road trip. No more range anxiety or detours to charging stations during your busy day.
Plus, you’ll save money with time-of-use electricity rates that make overnight charging significantly cheaper than daytime public charging. Many Evanston homeowners see their transportation costs drop by hundreds of dollars each month.
Jimco Electric has been Evanston’s go-to electrical service company for over 25 years. We specialize in residential electrical repairs and installations, with particular expertise in emergency electrical issues and electrical system upgrades.
As a licensed, bonded, and insured electrical contractor, we understand the unique electrical challenges that older Evanston homes present. Our team knows local building codes inside and out, ensuring every EV charger installation meets both city requirements and safety standards.
We offer special discounts for military members, first responders, seniors, teachers, new customers, and students because we believe reliable electrical service should be accessible to everyone who serves the community.
The process starts with a thorough assessment of your home’s electrical system. We evaluate your current electrical panel capacity, determine the best location for your charging station, and recommend the right charger type for your specific vehicle and driving habits.
Next, we handle all permit applications and coordinate with the City of Evanston to ensure full code compliance. You won’t need to navigate bureaucratic processes or worry about inspection requirements.
The installation itself typically takes just one day. Our electricians install the charging station, connect it to your electrical system, and test everything to ensure it’s working perfectly. We’ll also walk you through how to use your new charger and answer any questions about optimal charging schedules.

Every installation includes a comprehensive electrical assessment, permit handling, professional installation, and final inspection. We also help you navigate available rebates and incentives that can significantly reduce your installation costs.
Evanston residents can access substantial rebates through ComEd’s program, offering up to $3,750 for qualified installations. There’s also a federal tax credit covering 30% of installation costs up to $1,000, plus potential state rebates through Illinois’s Climate and Equitable Jobs Act.
Our service covers all charger types and brands, from basic Level 1 chargers to faster Level 2 charging stations. If your electrical panel needs upgrading to handle the additional load, we can handle that too, often using load management systems to avoid costly full panel replacements.
