EV Charger Installation in Chicago
Chicago has one of the most generous setups in the country — but also specific rules. ComEd's rebate can cover a big chunk of a Level 2 charger and install, and the city requires a pulled electrical permit (roughly $50–$300) plus a final inspection. Important local catch: the work must be done by an ICC-certified installer — using a non-certified electrician voids the ComEd rebate. Most installs across Cook County run about $800 to $2,500.
