EV Charging Station Installation Process Indian Head Park

From Consultation to Charging in Days

First, we’ll assess your current electrical setup and determine what’s needed for your specific EV charger installation. Most homes need a dedicated 240V circuit, and we’ll tell you upfront if your electrical panel can handle the additional load or needs upgrading.

Next comes the permit work. We handle all the paperwork with Cook County, so you don’t have to navigate the bureaucracy yourself. Once permits are approved, we schedule the installation at your convenience.

Installation typically takes 4-6 hours depending on the distance from your electrical panel to your garage or charging location. We’ll run the proper wiring, install the charging unit, and test everything to make sure it’s working correctly. Finally, we coordinate the city inspection to ensure everything meets code requirements, so you’re completely covered.

How long does it take to charge my electric vehicle with a Level 2 charger?

Most electric vehicles charge completely in 3-4 hours with a Level 2 charger, compared to 12-20 hours using a standard wall outlet. The exact time depends on your vehicle’s battery size and current charge level. For example, a Tesla Model 3 with a 75 kWh battery will typically charge from empty to full in about 4 hours with a 40-amp Level 2 charger. If you’re just topping off from 50% charge after your daily commute, you’re looking at about 2 hours to reach full capacity. This means you can easily charge overnight and wake up to a fully charged vehicle every morning, regardless of how much you drove the day before.
Many Indian Head Park homes built in the last 20 years have electrical panels that can handle a Level 2 EV charger without upgrades. However, older homes or panels that are already near capacity may need an upgrade. During the initial assessment, we’ll check your current electrical load and panel capacity. If you have a 200-amp service panel with available breaker slots, you’re typically good to go. Homes with older 100-amp panels or panels that are fully loaded will likely need an upgrade. The good news is that panel upgrades are often covered under ComEd’s rebate program, and upgrading your electrical panel increases your home value while making it safer and more capable of handling modern electrical demands.
ComEd offers rebates ranging from $1,000 to $3,750 for Level 2 electric vehicle charger installations. The rebate amount depends on your income level and the type of charger installed. Standard rebates are $1,000 for most homeowners, but if you qualify for public assistance programs, you may be eligible for the full $3,750 rebate. There are also additional rebates available through the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency for EV purchases. We handle the rebate application paperwork as part of our service, ensuring you receive the maximum rebate you’re qualified for. The rebate is typically processed within 6-8 weeks after installation and inspection completion.
You can install an EV charger outside in your driveway, but it requires a weatherproof charging unit rated for outdoor use. These units cost slightly more than indoor units but are built to handle Illinois weather conditions. The main considerations for outdoor installation are protecting the electrical connections from moisture and ensuring the charging cable can reach your vehicle without creating a tripping hazard. We typically recommend installing the charger on an exterior garage wall or dedicated post. Outdoor installations also need to meet specific electrical code requirements for GFCI protection and proper grounding. We handle all the technical requirements to ensure your outdoor charger is safe and reliable year-round.
EV charger installation typically costs between $1,200 and $3,500 depending on the distance from your electrical panel, whether you need panel upgrades, and the type of charger selected. Simple installations in garages close to the electrical panel are on the lower end. More complex installations requiring panel upgrades, long wire runs, or outdoor weatherproof units cost more. However, ComEd rebates significantly reduce your out-of-pocket costs, with rebates ranging from $1,000 to $3,750. We provide upfront pricing after assessing your specific situation, so there are no surprises. The investment pays for itself quickly when you consider the convenience of home charging and the money saved on public charging fees.
Yes, we handle all permit applications with Cook County and coordinate the required city inspection after installation. This saves you time and ensures everything is done correctly according to local electrical codes. The permit process typically takes 3-5 business days for approval. We submit all required documentation including electrical load calculations and installation plans. Once the installation is complete, we schedule the city inspection and make any required adjustments. You don’t need to take time off work or deal with city offices – we manage the entire process from permit application through final inspection approval. This is included in our installation service at no additional charge.
