Do I need to upgrade my electrical panel for EV charging?

Many La Grange Park homes built before 2000 need panel upgrades to safely support Level 2 EV charging. A Level 2 charger requires a dedicated 240V circuit, typically 40-50 amps, which older 100-amp panels often can’t handle.We assess your current panel capacity and electrical load during the initial consultation. If an upgrade is needed, it’s often covered by ComEd’s rebate program. Panel upgrades also increase your home’s value and improve electrical safety throughout the house.Modern 200-amp panels easily handle EV charging plus all your other electrical needs. The upgrade ensures reliable charging and prevents circuit overloads that could cause safety issues.

Illinois requires building permits for EV charger installations, and La Grange Park follows Cook County permit requirements. The permit process includes electrical load calculations and inspection of the completed installation.We handle all permit applications and scheduling. The permit typically costs $50-100 and takes 3-5 business days to approve. All work must be performed by licensed electricians – DIY installations aren’t permitted for Level 2 chargers.After installation, a county inspector verifies the work meets electrical code requirements. We coordinate the inspection and address any issues to ensure your installation passes on the first visit.

How long does EV charger installation take in La Grange Park?

Most installations take 4-6 hours once permits are approved and materials arrive. Simple installations with existing 240V outlets in the garage can be completed in 2-3 hours.

This includes permit approval time, material ordering, and scheduling.

We schedule around your availability and can often complete installations on weekends if needed.

What's the difference between Level 1 and Level 2 EV charging?

Level 1 charging uses standard 120V outlets and adds about 3-5 miles of range per hour. It’s fine for plug-in hybrids or drivers with very short daily commutes, but most EV owners find it too slow for practical daily use.Level 2 charging uses 240V power (like your dryer outlet) and adds 25-40 miles of range per hour depending on your charger’s amperage and your vehicle’s capabilities. Most EVs fully charge overnight with Level 2.For La Grange Park residents with typical 30-40 mile daily commutes, Level 2 is the practical choice. You’ll have a full battery every morning and enough range for unexpected trips without range anxiety.
