Professional EV Charger Installation Process

Straightforward Process, Zero Surprises

We start with a comprehensive electrical assessment of your home. This means checking your electrical panel capacity, measuring the distance to your preferred charging location, and determining what permits we’ll need. Most Shorewood homes built in the last 20 years can handle a Level 2 EV charging station without major electrical upgrades.

Next, we handle the permit application and schedule your electric vehicle charger installation. We run the appropriate wiring from your electrical panel to the charging location, install a dedicated circuit breaker, and mount your charger exactly where you want it. All work follows National Electrical Code standards and Shorewood’s local requirements.

After installation, the city inspector verifies everything meets code requirements. We walk you through operating your new home EV charger and help you apply for available rebates including ComEd’s program and federal tax credits. The entire process typically takes one day for straightforward installations, and we clean up completely when we’re finished.

Can my electrical panel handle a home EV charger installation?

Most homes in Shorewood with 200-amp electrical panels can accommodate a Level 2 electric vehicle charger without major upgrades. We perform a detailed load calculation during our initial assessment to determine your panel’s available capacity for EV charging station installation. If your panel is older or already heavily loaded, we might recommend an electrical panel upgrade or load management system. These solutions ensure safe operation and prevent overloading your electrical system. We’ll explain your options clearly and provide upfront pricing for any additional electrical work needed.
Professional EV charger installation costs typically range from $1,200 to $2,000 depending on your specific situation. The main factors affecting price are the distance from your electrical panel to the charging location and whether any electrical system upgrades are needed. However, current rebates can dramatically reduce your actual costs. ComEd offers rebates up to $3,750 for qualifying electric vehicle charger installations, and federal tax credits provide 30% of costs up to $1,000. Many of our Shorewood customers pay significantly less than the full installation price after these incentives are applied.
Electric vehicle charger installations require electrical permits from the City of Shorewood. We handle the entire permit process, including application submission and scheduling the required inspection. This ensures your EV charger installation meets all local codes and safety requirements. The permit process typically adds a few days to the project timeline but is essential for safe, legal installation. After your electric vehicle charging station installation, a city inspector verifies the work meets code requirements. We coordinate this inspection and address any issues that arise, though our installations consistently pass on the first inspection.
Most residential electric vehicle charger installations in Shorewood take 4-6 hours to complete. This includes running new electrical wiring, installing the dedicated circuit breaker, mounting the charging unit, and testing the entire system. Simple installations near the electrical panel can be completed faster. If electrical panel upgrades are needed for your EV charging station installation, the project may take a full day. We schedule installations to minimize disruption to your daily routine and complete all work in a single visit whenever possible. Weather doesn’t typically affect indoor electrical work, so delays are rare.
Level 2 EV chargers are the most practical choice for home installation. They use 240-volt power and can fully charge most electric vehicles in 4-8 hours, making overnight charging convenient and efficient. This works perfectly for daily commuting and regular use patterns. Level 1 chargers plug into standard outlets but charge very slowly – often taking 20+ hours for a full charge. Level 3 DC fast chargers are expensive and unnecessary for residential EV charger installation. We help you select a Level 2 charger that matches your vehicle’s capabilities and your specific charging needs.
Yes, we assist customers with rebate applications to maximize your savings on electric vehicle charger installation. This includes helping you understand which programs you qualify for and ensuring your installation meets all rebate requirements. Proper documentation is crucial for rebate approval and processing. We provide all necessary installation documentation and receipts needed for rebate applications. ComEd’s rebate program has specific requirements for charger types and installation methods, and we ensure compliance from the start.
