How much does EV charger installation cost in Morgan Park?

Installation costs typically range from $1,200 to $3,500, depending on your electrical panel’s condition and the distance to your parking area. However, ComEd offers rebates up to $3,750 for qualifying Morgan Park residents, which can cover most or all of your installation costs. You’ll also qualify for a federal tax credit of 30% of the total project cost, up to $1,000. Many homeowners find their out-of-pocket costs are minimal after applying these incentives. The exact cost depends on whether your electrical panel needs upgrading and how much new wiring is required. Most Morgan Park homes built before 1980 need some electrical upgrades to safely handle EV charging loads.
Yes, EV charger installations require electrical permits from the City of Chicago. The good news is that we handle all permit applications and inspections as part of the installation process. Chicago has specific requirements under the EV Charging Act that must be followed. These include proper circuit sizing, GFCI protection, and accessibility compliance where applicable. Working with a licensed electrician ensures your installation meets all code requirements and passes inspection on the first try. Attempting DIY installation or using unlicensed contractors can result in failed inspections, safety hazards, and voided insurance coverage.
Most installations complete in 4-8 hours, often finishing in a single day. However, if your electrical panel needs upgrading or significant new wiring is required, the project might extend to two days. The timeline depends on your home’s electrical system and the complexity of running new circuits. Morgan Park’s older homes sometimes require additional work to bring electrical systems up to current standards. Permit approval typically takes 1-2 weeks, but we often have permits ready before starting work. You’ll know the expected timeline during your initial consultation, so there are no surprises.
Level 2 chargers are the standard for home installation, operating on 240 volts and charging most EVs in 4-8 hours. This is perfect for overnight charging and provides enough power for daily driving needs. Level 1 chargers use standard 120-volt outlets but are extremely slow, taking 12-24 hours for a full charge. They’re only suitable for plug-in hybrids or very light EV usage. Level 3 (DC fast charging) isn’t practical for homes due to cost and electrical requirements. Level 2 charging provides the best balance of speed, cost, and practicality for residential use in Morgan Park.
Most Morgan Park homeowners see their electric bills increase by $30-60 monthly, but this replaces much higher gasoline costs. Charging an EV typically costs 60-80% less than buying gas for equivalent driving. ComEd offers time-of-use rates that make overnight EV charging even cheaper. Many customers charge for less than $5 per full battery, compared to $40-60 to fill a gas tank. The exact increase depends on your driving habits and local electricity rates. Most families save $100-200 monthly by switching from gas to electric, even after accounting for increased electric bills.
Many Morgan Park homes built before 1980 need electrical panel upgrades to safely handle EV charging. Level 2 chargers require dedicated 40-amp circuits, which older 100-amp panels often can’t accommodate. We’ll evaluate your panel’s capacity, age, and available space during the initial assessment. If upgrades are needed, they can be completed as part of the installation project. Panel upgrades aren’t just about EV charging – they improve your home’s electrical safety and capacity for other appliances. Many insurance companies offer discounts for homes with updated electrical panels, helping offset the upgrade cost.
