West Chicagoland EV & Home Charger Installation

Add a Charging Station at Home With the Help of Our Electricians!

Electric is the future of driving! As EVs become the norm, more people need reliable home charging solutions. Mister Sparky® is here to make your transition to electric smooth with expert EV charger installation. Ditch slow standard outlets—our skilled electricians offers dedicated EV charger installation services in your West Chicagoland home for faster, easier charging.

Types of EV Chargers

Two main factors affect how quickly your electric vehicle can charge: the electrical capacity of your home and the type of charger you choose. EV chargers exist in three levels, with level one as the slowest and level three as the quickest.

Level 1 Chargers

Level 1 chargers are included when you purchase an EV and plug directly into a standard home outlet. These are well-suited for topping up your battery overnight while your car isn't in use.

Level 2 Chargers

Level 2 chargers offer significantly faster charging than standard outlets, but they do need professional installation. Since they draw more power, a licensed electrician should set up a specific 240-volt circuit. For every hour your car is plugged in, you can see up to 70 additional range miles—making Level 2 the preferred choice for charging at home.

Level 3 Chargers

Level 3 chargers deliver lightning-fast charging speeds, adding miles of range in mere minutes! However, they need a robust power supply that most homes lack. While these chargers are ideal for public charging stations, they might not be feasible for your garage.

Choosing the Right EV Charger

Choosing the right home EV charger depends on your lifestyle. Overnight charging with a Level 1 charger could be perfect for some. Those with a busier schedule or longer commutes might find that a Level 2 charger offers a more convenient and adaptable charging solution.

Let's make charging your electric car easy and convenient! Our expert EV charger installation team in West Chicagoland will handle everything, including:

Assessing your home's electrical setup for safe support of a level 2 charger.
Helping you find the perfect charger to match your vehicle.
Performing any necessary upgrades to ensure reliable operation.
Installing your home EV charger in full compliance.
And more!

What Amperage Do I Need on My Breaker Panel for EV Charger Installation?

If your home's electrical service is 100 amps or less, a Level 2 charger might overload your system. To avoid any issues, we often recommend upgrading to a 200 amp electrical service for the best results. Our local West Chicagoland electricians will arrive ready to work and provide the expert installation you expect. We guarantee you'll be happy with the results!

Yazan Elkhatib

Robert did a great job installing a bathroom exhaust fan from scratch. Installation was completed same day as the quote. His knowledge for the type of job is great as not all electricians are experienced in this type of project. His cleanliness was top notch as he wore boot covers every time he came in the house and left everything tidy. His friendliness was a plus.

Excellent service. Robert was top notch. He is a very knowledgeable, pleasant and professional technician who was very efficient and thorough in completing the installation which I had requested, and explained in detail everything which he was planning to complete while conducting that task. He then went on to perform a detailed evaluation of my homes electrical system including the outside service supply line, the circuit breaker box and all of the outlets .. to ensure that everything was safely grounded and up to code. He provided a wealth of information and remained patient with answering all of my many queries in regard to the installation as well as the free evaluation that he had conducted during the visit. A very personable and professional fellow. I would highly recommend this company to anyone in need of their specialty services. Job well done Robert.

Excellent service! Mike and Robert from Mister Sparky were great. They fixed our ceiling fan light easily. And they were very helpful diagnosing several other electrical issues in our house. I would highly recommend Mister Sparky - as well as Mike and Robert.

Robert helped us fix our 1960s era chime doorbell. He was upfront on cost and effort required. The job was done competently and he left the workspace neater than it was before. Great experience and he will be first to be called for our next electrical job!

Wonderful experience with very knowledgeable employees! We couldn’t have had a better experience with Clark and Robert. Our detached garage needed new electricity. It was previously ran under our concrete and without conduit. The Mister Sparky team trenched around our concrete from the front of our house to the garage in back. They also put new conduit in the crawl space to hide the new lines. Their price was much cheaper than the big names you see on commercials and their customer service was much better. I’m really happy we chose them. They were very true to their word, I wish I could give them 6 stars.
