Yes, EV charger installation requires permits in Lynwood and throughout Illinois. Any electrical work involving new circuits or hardwired charging stations needs proper permits and inspections. We handle all permit applications as part of our installation service. This includes submitting plans, paying fees, and scheduling required inspections. You don’t need to deal with any of the paperwork. Illinois also requires EV charger installers to have ICC certification. We maintain all required certifications and stay current with changing regulations so your installation meets all state and local requirements.
Most homeowners choose Level 2 charging stations for home installation. These use 240V power and add about 25 miles of range per hour of charging, which means overnight charging gives you a full battery every morning. Level 1 chargers plug into standard 120V outlets but only add 3-5 miles of range per hour. Unless you drive very little, Level 1 charging is too slow for daily use. Level 3 DC fast chargers can charge your vehicle in 30 minutes but cost much more and are typically used for commercial installations. For home use, Level 2 provides the best balance of charging speed and installation cost.
Most EV charger installations take 2-4 hours once we start work. Simple installations with existing electrical capacity can be completed in 2 hours. Installations requiring new circuits or electrical panel upgrades take longer, typically 4-6 hours. The actual time depends on your home’s electrical system and the distance from your panel to the charging location. We schedule installations based on permit approval, which usually takes 1-2 weeks. Once permits are approved, we can typically complete your installation within a few days of scheduling.
No, Illinois requires EV charger installers to have specific ICC certification. Not all electricians have this certification, so it’s important to verify credentials before hiring anyone. We maintain ICC certification for EV charging station installation and stay current with all Illinois requirements. This ensures your installation meets state regulations and qualifies for available rebates. Using a non-certified installer can void your warranty, disqualify you from rebates, and create safety issues. Always verify that your electrician has proper ICC certification before proceeding with installation.
Illinois offers some of the best EV charger rebates in the country. ComEd provides rebates ranging from $1,000 to $3,750 for Level 2 residential installations, with the full $3,750 available if you qualify for public assistance programs.
