Downers Grove is one of the oldest and most settled villages in DuPage County, and that shapes every charger job here. Many homes near the Main Street Metra station were built decades ago, and the electrical service inside them was sized for a different era. Our first job is to look at your panel and tell you plainly what it can carry.
ONIT EV Charging is based in Plainfield and comes up I-355 for jobs around Main Street, Belmont and Fairview. A lot of Downers Grove garages sit at the back of the lot, off an alley or a long driveway. We plan the wire route and the conduit before we arrive, so the price you hear is the price you pay.
Our crew handles the work, or an electrician we manage does. Every install is done to NEC code, insured, and inspected. We pull the permit with the Village of Downers Grove, size the circuit for your car, and mount the charger where the cord reaches your charge port without stretching across the driveway or the garage floor. That way the finished job looks like it belongs in the house.
A dedicated 240 volt circuit and a wall-mounted charger in your garage, sized for your car. Most Downers Grove homes charge overnight at 32 to 48 amps, which is enough for a full commute and then some.
We mount and hardwire the Tesla Wall Connector with a clean cable path to the charge port. If you drive both a Tesla and another brand, the Universal Wall Connector covers both cars.
Older Downers Grove homes often have 100 amp service or a crowded panel. We run a load calculation first, and if a service change is needed we explain why before any work is scheduled.
Alley garages and rear-lot garages are common here. We trench or run conduit from the main panel to the garage, add a subpanel when it makes sense, and keep the route out of your landscaping.
Downtown condo buildings and small businesses near the Main Street shops can add shared or assigned charging. We handle layout, metering options and the permit for property managers and owners.
A charger that trips the breaker, shows a fault, or stops talking to your car can usually be diagnosed in one visit. We repair, replace or relocate units installed by anyone.
The housing here runs from pre-war brick homes to mid-century ranches to newer infill close to downtown. That mix means no two panels are alike. We ask for photos of your panel, the open panel door and your garage wall, then tell you what the job needs before anyone drives out to the house. Most photos are enough for us to name the wire size, breaker and mounting spot in advance.
The Village of Downers Grove issues the electrical permit, and we handle the application and the inspection scheduling. Where the garage is detached, expect conduit or a trench for the run. Where the garage is attached and the panel is close by, the job is often finished in a single morning, with the charger tested on your car before we pack up.
A straightforward install on an existing 200 amp panel with the charger near the panel typically runs $1,200 to $2,500, charger included. Longer runs, a detached garage, or added conduit typically run $2,000 to $4,000. If the panel needs an upgrade, that typically adds $2,000 to $4,500. The number holds unless we find something unexpected inside a wall, and we tell you right away if that happens.
ComEd's 2027 residential rebate program offers $2,500 for income qualified households and up to $750 for everyone else toward a Level 2 charger and install. Funds are limited and income based tiers exist, so applying early helps. We handle the paperwork, so the rebate application is complete the first time and you are not chasing forms after the work is done. Many Downers Grove households take a few minutes to gather their ComEd account details, and that is the only homework.
Most can, but it depends on the panel. A 200 amp panel usually handles it directly. A 100 amp panel may need a load check, a smart load device, or a service upgrade. Send us panel photos and we will tell you which one applies before you commit.
Yes. A hardwired charger or a new 240 volt circuit needs an electrical permit through the Village of Downers Grove. We pull it, schedule the inspection, and stay on site for the inspector so you do not have to arrange anything on your own.
Typically $1,200 to $2,500 for a simple install with the charger near the panel, and $2,000 to $4,000 for longer runs or a detached garage. A panel upgrade adds $2,000 to $4,500. We give you a estimate from your video first.
Yes. We run conduit overhead or underground from the main panel, size the wire for the distance, and add a subpanel when it helps. We walk the route with you first so the yard, patio and driveway are protected.
Yes. ComEd's 2027 residential program offers $2,500 for income qualified households and up to $750 for everyone else toward a Level 2 charger and install. Funds are limited and income tiers exist. We prepare and submit the rebate paperwork as part of the job.
