Residential EV Charger Installation Wilmington

Never Wait for Public Charging Again

You bought an electric vehicle for the convenience and savings. But hunting down public charging stations and waiting around for 30-60 minutes isn’t convenient at all.

With a Level 2 home charging station, you plug in when you get home and wake up to a full battery every morning. It’s that simple. No more planning trips around charging stops or paying premium rates at public stations.

Your home becomes your fueling station. Drive home, plug in, and you’re done. Most EV owners do 90% of their charging at home because it just makes sense.

What You Get With Professional Installation

Your installation includes a Level 2 charging station that charges 6-8 times faster than a standard wall outlet. Most EVs will fully charge overnight, even if you come home with a nearly empty battery.

We handle the electrical work, permits, and inspections. In Wilmington, you’ll need proper permits and electrical code compliance – we take care of all of that so you don’t have to worry about it.

You’ll also want to take advantage of the available rebates. ComEd customers can get up to $3,750 back on their installation, and there’s a federal tax credit worth 30% of your total project cost up to $1,000. We can help you understand what rebates you qualify for and provide the documentation you need to claim them.

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

Installation costs typically range from $1,500 to $3,500 depending on your specific situation. A straightforward installation with an existing 240-volt outlet nearby might cost around $1,500, while installations requiring new electrical circuits or panel upgrades can cost $2,500-$3,500. The good news is that rebates can cover most or all of your costs. ComEd offers rebates up to $3,750 for residential customers, and the federal tax credit covers 30% of your total project cost up to $1,000. Many of our customers end up paying very little out of pocket after rebates. We provide upfront pricing so you know exactly what to expect before we start any work. No surprises, no hidden fees.

Do I need a permit for EV charger installation?

Yes, EV charger installations require electrical permits in Illinois. Any electrical work that involves adding new circuits or modifying your electrical panel needs to be permitted and inspected. We handle all the permit paperwork for you. We’ll pull the necessary permits, ensure the installation meets all electrical codes, and coordinate with the city inspector for the final approval. This isn’t something you want to skip – unpermitted electrical work can cause problems with insurance claims and home sales down the road. The permit process typically adds 1-2 days to the project timeline, but it ensures your installation is safe and legal. It’s worth doing it right.

Will my electrical panel handle an EV charger?

Most modern electrical panels can handle a Level 2 EV charger, but older panels or homes with high electrical usage might need upgrades. We’ll assess your panel capacity during our initial consultation and let you know what’s needed. Level 2 chargers typically require a 40-50 amp circuit. If your panel doesn’t have enough available capacity, we can upgrade it as part of the installation. Panel upgrades are more expensive, but they’re often necessary and they increase your home’s electrical capacity for other future needs too. We’ll give you a complete assessment upfront so there are no surprises. If you need a panel upgrade, we’ll explain why and what’s involved before moving forward.

How long does EV charger installation take?

Most installations take 4-6 hours once we have permits in hand. Simple installations where we’re just installing the charger and connecting to existing wiring can be done in half a day. More complex installations that require running new circuits or upgrading electrical panels might take a full day. The permit process adds time to the overall project. We typically need 3-5 business days to get permits approved before we can start the installation work. We’ll coordinate everything and keep you updated on timing throughout the process. Emergency electrical issues always take priority in our schedule, but we work efficiently to get your charging station installed as quickly as possible while doing the work properly.

What rebates are available for EV charger installation?

ComEd customers can get rebates up to $3,750 for Level 2 EV charger installation. The exact amount depends on your income level and location, with higher rebates available for customers in certain communities. These rebates can cover 100% of installation costs for many customers. There’s also a federal tax credit worth 30% of your total project cost, up to $1,000. This includes both the equipment and installation costs. You claim this credit when you file your taxes. Some customers qualify for additional local incentives too. We’ll help you understand what rebates you’re eligible for and provide all the documentation you need to claim them. The paperwork can be confusing, but we’ve helped dozens of customers navigate the rebate process successfully.

Can you install any brand of EV charger?

Yes, we install all major brands of Level 2 EV chargers including Tesla, ChargePoint, JuiceBox, Grizzl-E, and others. We can also install the charger that came with your vehicle if you prefer to use that. Most EV chargers use standard connections, so any Level 2 charger will work with any electric vehicle. Tesla vehicles need an adapter for non-Tesla chargers, but Tesla includes that adapter with every vehicle. We’ll help you choose the right charger for your needs and budget. Some chargers have smart features like WiFi connectivity and scheduling, while others are more basic but cost less. We’ll explain the options and help you decide what makes sense for your situation.
