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

Installation costs typically range from $1,200 to $3,500 depending on your electrical panel capacity and the charger type you choose. However, ComEd currently offers rebates up to $3,750 for residential Level 2 EV charger installation, which can cover most or all of your costs. You may also qualify for a federal tax credit covering 30% of hardware and installation costs, up to $1,000. Many Summit homeowners end up paying very little out of pocket after rebates and tax credits. The exact cost depends on whether your electrical panel needs upgrading and how far the installation location is from your main panel.

Do I need a permit for EV charger installation in Summit?

Yes, EV charger installation requires a building permit in Summit, IL. This ensures the work meets local electrical codes and safety requirements. We handle the permit application process for you, including all required documentation and electrical load calculations. The permit typically costs between $50-100 and takes 3-5 business days for approval. Illinois law requires that EV chargers be installed by ICC-certified electricians who understand the specific code requirements. We maintain all necessary certifications and handle the inspection coordination.

What type of EV charger should I install at home?

Level 2 chargers are the best choice for home installation. They operate on 240V power (like your dryer or electric stove) and can fully charge most EVs in 4-8 hours. Level 1 chargers use standard 120V outlets but take 20+ hours for a full charge. Since 80% of drivers travel less than 40 miles daily, overnight Level 1 charging can work, but Level 2 is much more practical. We’ll assess your driving habits, electrical capacity, and budget to recommend the right charging speed. Most Summit homeowners choose 32-amp Level 2 chargers for the best balance of charging speed and electrical requirements.

How long does EV charger installation take?

Most installations take 4-6 hours if your electrical panel has adequate capacity. If we need to upgrade your panel or run new circuits, the work typically takes 1-2 days. We schedule installation after permits are approved and any necessary electrical upgrades are completed. The actual charger mounting and connection usually takes 2-3 hours once the electrical infrastructure is ready. Emergency electrical issues take priority in our schedule, but we typically complete EV charger installations within 1-2 weeks of your initial call, including permit processing time.

Can my electrical panel handle an EV charger?

Many homes in Summit were built before EVs became common, so panel upgrades are often necessary. We assess your current electrical load and available capacity during our initial visit. A typical Level 2 EV charger requires a dedicated 40-amp circuit. If your panel is already near capacity or doesn’t have space for additional breakers, we’ll recommend an upgrade. Panel upgrades also qualify for various rebates and ensure your electrical system can safely handle modern electrical demands. We’ll provide a detailed assessment and cost estimate before starting any work.

Are there rebates available for EV charger installation in Summit?

Yes, ComEd offers substantial rebates for residential EV charger installation, ranging from $1,000 to $3,750 depending on your household income and charger specifications. Low-income households may qualify for the maximum rebate amount. The federal government also provides a tax credit covering 30% of hardware and installation costs, up to $1,000. These incentives can significantly reduce or eliminate your out-of-pocket costs. We help you navigate the rebate application process and ensure your installation meets all requirements for maximum rebate eligibility. The paperwork can be confusing, but we handle most of it for you.
