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

An EV charger is the hardware that manages the flow of energy from your home's power supply to your vehicle. You need this if you have recently purchased an electric car and want a reliable way to power it up overnight. While some chargers are portable, a hardwired unit is often more efficient for daily use. Factors like conduit routing and mounting requirements influence the final install cost.

Frequently asked in Chicago

What's the deal with portable EV chargers in Chicago?

Portable EV chargers, often referred to as Level 1 chargers, plug into a standard 120-volt outlet. While convenient for occasional use, they provide significantly slower charging speeds compared to professionally installed Level 2 units. In Chicago, where daily commutes can be substantial, relying solely on a portable charger might not be practical for consistent EV ownership. A licensed pro can explain the differences and help you decide if a portable unit meets your needs or if a dedicated installation is better.

What's the difference between home EV chargers and public options in Chicago?

Home EV chargers, typically Level 2 units, are permanently installed at your residence for convenient overnight charging. Public charging stations in Chicago, like those from EVgo or Electrify America, offer faster charging speeds for on-the-go top-ups. While public networks are expanding, a home charger provides unparalleled convenience for Chicago residents, ensuring your vehicle is ready for your daily commute without relying on available public infrastructure.
