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.

Frequently asked in Joliet
What's the difference between EV charging station types?
EV charging stations generally fall into Level 1, Level 2, and DC Fast Chargers. Level 1 uses a standard 120V outlet, offering the slowest charge. Level 2, which is what most home installations focus on, uses a 240V circuit, providing a much quicker charge. DC Fast Chargers are typically found in public locations and offer the fastest charging speeds, often found at places like EVgo charging stations. The pros we work with specialize in Level 2 installations for residential use.
