How Much Does EV Charger Installation Cost In Woodridge, IL?

Installation costs typically range from $1,000 to $3,000 depending on your home’s electrical setup and distance from the panel to your charging location. However, ComEd currently offers rebates up to $3,750 for residential customers in their service territory, which includes all of Woodridge, and can cover most or all of your installation costs. The biggest cost factor is whether your electrical panel needs upgrading to handle the additional 40-amp load that Level 2 chargers require. Many homes built before 2000 need panel upgrades, while newer homes often just need a new 240-volt circuit installed from the existing panel. We provide free estimates that include a complete assessment of your electrical system, load calculations, and rebate eligibility, so you’ll know exactly what’s needed and what rebates you qualify for before any work begins.
Illinois requires building permits for EV charger installations, and all work must be performed by ICC-certified EV charging station installers. As certified installers, we handle all permit applications and coordinate inspections with DuPage County for you. The permit process typically takes 3-5 business days in Woodridge, and we work directly with local inspectors to ensure everything meets current electrical codes. This includes proper grounding, circuit protection, GFCI requirements, and load calculations for your electrical panel. You don’t need to worry about navigating the permit process yourself or figuring out which forms to file. We take care of all paperwork, scheduling, and compliance requirements so your installation is legal, safe, and passes inspection the first time.
Most installations take 3-5 hours if your electrical panel can handle the additional load and the charging location is within 50 feet of your panel. If we need to upgrade your panel or run new wiring longer distances through finished areas, installation might take a full day. We schedule installations to minimize disruption to your daily routine and typically work around your schedule. Most Woodridge customers prefer morning installations so they can start using their new charger that same evening to top off their vehicle overnight. The timeline also depends on permit approval, which typically takes 3-5 business days in DuPage County. We handle all scheduling with the county and coordinate required inspections so you don’t have to take multiple days off work or wait around for inspectors.
ComEd offers the largest residential rebates, providing up to $3,750 for Level 2 charger installation in their service territory, which includes all of Woodridge. Low-income customers and those in eligible communities qualify for the highest rebate amounts, sometimes covering 100% of installation costs. The federal government also offers a tax credit covering 30% of installation costs up to $1,000 for residents in qualifying rural or low-income areas. These rebates can stack with ComEd’s program for maximum savings, potentially making your installation completely free. We help you apply for all available rebates, ensure your installation meets program requirements, and handle the paperwork so you don’t miss deadlines or qualification criteria. Many of our customers get their entire installation cost covered through these programs.
Level 2 EV chargers typically require a dedicated 240-volt, 40-amp circuit, which draws about as much power as an electric dryer or central air conditioning unit. Most homes built after 1990 with 200-amp service can accommodate this load, but older homes with 100-amp service often need panel upgrades. We perform a complete load calculation during our site assessment to determine if your current panel has capacity for EV charging without overloading existing circuits. If not, we can upgrade your panel to 200-amp service to handle the additional load safely. Panel upgrades might seem expensive upfront, but they’re often necessary anyway as homes add more electrical devices over time. Plus, a modern electrical panel increases your home’s value and safety, and the ComEd rebate program helps offset upgrade costs significantly.
Illinois law requires ICC-certified installers for all EV charging station work, so DIY installation isn’t legal and won’t pass inspection or qualify for rebates. Insurance companies also typically won’t cover damage from unpermitted electrical work, leaving you liable for thousands in potential costs. Professional installation ensures your charger operates safely and efficiently for years to come. We use commercial-grade components, proper load calculations, and code-compliant wiring that protects both your home and your expensive EV from electrical problems. Most importantly, professional installation qualifies for thousands in available rebates that can completely cover your costs. The ComEd rebate alone can pay for your entire installation, but only if the work is performed by certified installers who know how to meet program requirements and handle the application process correctly.
