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

Installation costs vary based on your home’s electrical setup and distance from the panel to your garage. Simple installations with existing 240V service run around $800-1,200 total. Homes needing new circuits or panel upgrades typically cost $1,500-2,500. However, ComEd rebates cover $1,000-3,750 of these costs, and federal tax credits provide another 30% back up to $1,000.

Faithorn requires electrical permits for new 240V circuits and charger installations. We handle all permit applications and schedule inspections as part of our service. The permit process typically takes 2-3 business days. We coordinate with local inspectors to ensure everything meets code requirements and passes inspection on the first try. Illinois also requires installers to be certified by the Commerce Commission. We maintain all necessary certifications and insurance, so you’re protected throughout the installation process.
Most installations take 4-6 hours once permits are approved. Simple installations with nearby electrical panels can be completed in 3-4 hours. Homes needing new circuits or panel upgrades may require 6-8 hours of work. We schedule longer jobs to minimize disruption and complete everything in one visit when possible. The entire process from initial assessment to final inspection typically takes 1-2 weeks. We coordinate all scheduling and keep you informed at every step.
Most Faithorn homes can support Level 2 EV charging with proper installation. Homes with 100-amp or larger electrical panels usually have adequate capacity.

We recommend chargers based on your vehicle, driving habits, and electrical setup. We install major brands and help you choose the best option for your specific needs.
