EV Charger Installation Process Lombard

From Assessment to Charging

We start by assessing your electrical panel and determining if upgrades are needed to handle your EV charger’s power requirements. Most Level 2 chargers need a dedicated 240-volt circuit with 40-amp capacity.

Next, we handle all permit applications with the Village of Lombard and ensure everything meets National Electrical Code requirements. We install the dedicated circuit with proper 8-AWG wiring, mount your charging station, and connect everything safely.

After installation, we conduct a complete startup inspection to verify proper operation and walk you through your new charging system. We also coordinate the final municipal inspection so you’re fully compliant and ready to charge.

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

EV charger installation costs in Lombard typically range from $800 to $2,500, depending on your electrical panel capacity and the distance from your panel to the charging location. Level 2 chargers themselves cost $400 to $1,200, while installation labor runs $400 to $1,300. However, ComEd rebates can cover $1,000 to $3,750 of your installation costs, and federal tax credits provide up to $1,000 back. Many Lombard homeowners end up paying significantly less after incentives. The biggest cost factor is whether your electrical panel needs upgrading to handle the 40-amp circuit required for Level 2 charging. We provide free estimates that include a panel assessment so you know exactly what’s needed.

Do I need permits for EV charger installation in Lombard?

Yes, EV charger installation in Lombard requires electrical permits for any new 240-volt circuit work. The Village of Lombard requires permits for all electrical work involving new circuits, and EV chargers typically need dedicated 40-amp circuits. We handle all permit applications and ensure your installation meets local building codes and National Electrical Code requirements. The permit process usually takes 1-2 weeks, and we coordinate the final inspection with the village. Illinois also requires that EV charger installers be ICC certified, which we maintain. This certification ensures we’re up to date on the latest safety requirements and installation standards for electric vehicle charging equipment.

What electrical upgrades might I need for EV charger installation?

Most EV charger installations require a new dedicated 240-volt circuit with 40-amp capacity. If your electrical panel has available breaker spaces and adequate capacity, this is straightforward. However, older homes may need panel upgrades. We perform a load calculation to determine if your current panel can handle the additional electrical demand. Homes with 100-amp panels or panels that are already near capacity often need upgrades to 200-amp service. The good news is that panel upgrades improve your entire home’s electrical capacity and safety, not just for EV charging. We can also install sub-panels in some situations to avoid full service upgrades while still providing proper EV charging capacity.

How long does EV charger installation take in Lombard?

Most EV charger installations in Lombard take 3-6 hours once permits are approved and materials are available. Simple installations where your panel has adequate capacity and the charger location is close to the panel are on the shorter end. The total timeline from initial assessment to completed installation is typically 2-3 weeks. This includes permit processing time, which usually takes 1-2 weeks in Lombard, plus scheduling your installation appointment. If electrical panel upgrades are needed, add another 1-2 days for the upgrade work. We coordinate everything to minimize disruption and ensure your installation is completed efficiently and safely.

What rebates are available for EV charger installation in Lombard?

Lombard residents have access to excellent EV charger rebates. ComEd offers $1,000 to $3,750 rebates for smart Level 2 chargers, with higher rebates available for income-qualified customers. The charger must be networked and ENERGY STAR certified to qualify. Federal tax credits provide up to $1,000 back, covering 30% of your equipment and installation costs. This federal credit runs through 2032 and applies to most residential EV charger installations. We help you apply for available rebates and ensure your charger meets all program requirements. Many customers find that rebates and tax credits cover 50-70% of their total installation costs, making home EV charging very affordable.

Can any electrician install EV chargers in Illinois?

No, Illinois requires EV charger installers to have ICC (Illinois Commerce Commission) certification specifically for electric vehicle charging station installation. This is beyond standard electrical licensing and requires additional training and certification. ICC certification ensures installers understand the unique requirements of EV charging systems, including proper circuit sizing, safety disconnects, and code compliance. Not all electricians have this specialized certification. We maintain current ICC certification for EV charger installation and stay updated on changing requirements and best practices. This specialized knowledge ensures your installation is done safely and meets all Illinois regulations for electric vehicle charging equipment.
