What affects the price

When you look at the cost of getting an EV charger installed at your home, a few main things change the bottom line. The biggest factor is how far your electrical panel is from where you want the charger; longer wiring runs mean more materials and labor. You also have to consider if your current panel has enough available amperage to handle the new circuit, or if you need an expensive service upgrade. Additionally, the type of charger you choose and the difficulty of running conduit through walls or attics play a role.

About this service

These are the public or private units that provide power to electric vehicles. You need one if you are a property owner wanting to offer charging as a service or convenience. Costs are driven by the level of the charger—Level 2 versus DC fast charging—and the complexity of the site electrical work. We provide professional installation services for all major brands nationwide. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

Frequently asked in Chicago

Can a standard electrician install an EV charger in Chicago?

While many electricians are licensed, installing an EV charger in Chicago requires specialized knowledge. The pros we work with are familiar with the specific requirements for Level 2 charger installations, including dedicated circuits and potential panel upgrades. This ensures compliance with local codes and safe, efficient operation of your charging station. Relying on a general electrician might lead to code violations or improper installation.

What are the benefits of using a public charging station versus home installation?

Public charging stations, like those found in Chicago's Loop or parking garages, offer convenience for on-the-go charging or for residents without dedicated home parking. However, they can be more expensive per charge and availability can vary. Installing a home Level 2 charger provides unparalleled convenience, allowing you to wake up to a fully charged vehicle every morning without needing to search for a station. It's a long-term solution for consistent EV ownership.
