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
A Level 2 charger uses a 240-volt circuit to charge your vehicle significantly faster than a standard wall outlet. Most homeowners choose this because it can fully recharge a battery in just a few hours. If you find that your current charging setup is too slow for your daily commute, upgrading to a Level 2 unit is the standard solution. Labor costs vary based on your existing electrical infrastructure. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
Frequently asked in Chicago
What are the charging station options available near Chicago?
While public charging networks like EVgo and Electrify America offer options throughout Chicago, many EV owners opt for home charging for convenience and cost-effectiveness. The type of home charger, typically a Level 2 unit, depends on your vehicle's charging port and your home's electrical capacity. We can help assess your needs and recommend the best solution for your specific situation, ensuring you have reliable power when you need it.

Flash charging typically refers to very high-speed charging, often found at public DC fast-charging stations, not standard home installations. For your home in Chicago, you'll most likely be looking at a Level 2 charger, which provides a significantly faster charge than a standard wall outlet but isn't 'flash' speed.
