Glen Ellyn has a lot of character in its housing. Around Lake Ellyn and the winding streets near Glenbard West High School, many homes are decades old, with real basements, detached garages and attics. Toward Roosevelt Road the houses get newer, and larger rebuilds are common. ONIT EV Charging installs chargers across that range, and each home tells us what the job will be.

The older Glen Ellyn house is usually a story about the panel and the route. A 100 amp service, a crowded basement and a garage behind the house mean we plan carefully. The newer house is usually a story about two cars. Many families here want two chargers, so we leave room on the circuit and the panel for the second one.

Our crew takes each project, or an electrician we manage does. We are based in Plainfield, and Glen Ellyn is a regular stop for us. Every job is permitted, inspected and insured. Send a short video from your panel to your garage, and we will give you a estimate from your video, confirmed on a free site visit.

EV charging services in Glen Ellyn

Level 2 install for Glen Ellyn homes

A dedicated circuit and a hardwired charger, wired to code and labeled at the panel. For homes with tight basements, we route carefully to avoid cutting finished walls and ceilings.

Tesla Wall Connector

We install the Tesla Wall Connector Gen 3 and Universal model on a 60 amp breaker. Two-car households can add a second unit on the same feed with load sharing, if your panel supports it.

200 amp service change

Older Glen Ellyn homes may need 200 amps to run an EV alongside modern appliances. We check your load first, and quote an upgrade only when the numbers and the safety margins call for it.

Detached garages and long driveways

Many lots here put the garage well back from the house. We run correctly sized conduit underground or along structures, add a subpanel when it helps, and get the route inspected.

Downtown, office and multi-family charging

We install chargers for downtown businesses, offices and multi-family properties, from single ports to several, with signage, access control and circuits sized to the use.

Charger repair

If your Glen Ellyn charger faults or stops working, we test the circuit, the connections and the unit. We repair what we can, and replace the charger when a new one is the better value.

What an install looks like in Glen Ellyn

The Village of Glen Ellyn issues the electrical permit, and we pull it for every install. A typical older home starts at a basement panel. We trace a path to the garage through the joists, along a foundation wall or through a mechanical room, then run the cable, set the breaker and mount the charger. For detached garages, we also plan the outdoor segment.

Streets near Newton Park and the Village Links golf course include homes on larger lots, where runs of 60 to 120 feet are common. Longer runs need heavier wire to avoid voltage drop. We specify it correctly, and we can add a garage subpanel so a second EV charger can be added later without redoing the feeder.

Cost and ComEd rebates in Glen Ellyn

For a Glen Ellyn home with 200 amp service and the charger near the panel, a Level 2 install typically runs $1,200 to $2,500, charger included. Garages set back from the house and longer runs typically cost $2,000 to $4,000. If the service needs upgrading, that typically adds $2,000 to $4,500.

The 2027 ComEd residential rebate covers $2,500 for income qualified households and up to $750 for everyone else for a Level 2 charger and the work to install it. Availability is limited, and income-based tiers set the payout, so the amount you receive may vary. We handle all of the paperwork and give you a straight answer on eligibility before you commit to the project.

Before we come out

  • Photos of the main panel, any subpanel and the meter
  • How many EVs you have now, and how many you expect later
  • A photo of the garage and the path from the house to it
  • The age of the house and any past electrical upgrades you know of
  • A choice of charger, or the car you drive for our recommendation
  • A recent ComEd bill for the rebate application

Glen Ellyn EV charger questions

Can you install a charger on a detached garage in Glen Ellyn?

Yes. Detached garages are common here. We run a feeder from the house to the garage in conduit sized for the distance and load. The route is permitted through the Village of Glen Ellyn and inspected before it is covered, so it passes.

Do I need 200 amp service for an EV charger?

Not always, but it helps. Many 100 amp homes can run a 30 or 40 amp charger after a load calculation. If you have two EVs or an all-electric setup, 200 amps is usually the better choice. We explain the options with prices.

Can I get a rebate for the install?

Likely. Through ComEd's 2027 residential rebate, a household may receive $2,500 for income qualified households and up to $750 for everyone else for a Level 2 charger and install. There is a limited pot of money, split into income-based tiers. We complete the paperwork and tell you early if your project appears to qualify.

How do I get a price without a site visit?

Send a short video from the panel to the garage, meter included, so we can see the distance and the walls in between. In most cases, that is enough for an estimate. If a photo is unclear, we ask for one more rather than guessing.

Which chargers work best for two-car households?

Two Tesla Wall Connectors on a shared circuit work well, and load-sharing models from ChargePoint and Emporia also fit. The right pick depends on your panel and your cars. We size it properly and can supply the equipment or use yours.
