For residents in Illinois, including Rockford, installing an EV charger means preparing for distinct seasonal changes. The state experiences cold, snowy winters and warm summers, so the charging equipment and its installation must withstand fluctuating temperatures and humidity. Our process ensures resilience.
The housing stock in Illinois, particularly around Rockford, is predominantly single-family homes with garages or driveways. Our installation process starts with a detailed assessment of your home's electrical panel to verify its capacity for a Level 2 charger. If an upgrade is necessary, we will clearly explain the steps required to ensure your electrical system is safe and compliant for EV charging.
Illinois requires all electrical installations, including EV chargers, to be performed by a licensed electrician. This is to ensure the work meets safety codes and is performed correctly. We manage this entire process for you.
The cost depends on factors like the distance from your electrical panel to the charger location and whether your panel requires modifications. We provide a detailed quote after a thorough site inspection in Rockford.
