Frequently Asked Questions
Request a site walk. We’ll verify electrical capacity, parking layout, conduit runs, and connectivity, then return a phased design, a line-item budget, and an incentive roadmap.
Absolutely. We can configure “open to public” hours, set different prices for members/guests, and list your site in trusted charging apps to drive utilization.
Yes. Chicago is piloting curbside charging to serve residents who park on the street. We can support site selection and program alignment.
It depends on power, trenching, panel capacity, networking, and site complexity. Incentives (utility + federal/state) can materially change ROI; we include them in your proposal.
We offer maintenance and uptime SLAs, periodic inspections, firmware updates, and replacement plans for cables, contactors, and screens.
Yes. We work with OCPP-compliant platforms for user access (RFID/app), pricing, and remote diagnostics. You’ll have dashboards for usage and revenue.
We design for ADA access, lighting, bollards, signage, cable management, and camera coverage as appropriate. We also plan snow/ice management for winter reliability.
Level 2 adds ~20–30+ miles per hour (varies by vehicle/charger). DC fast adds much more quickly but needs higher power and different siting (and typically higher costs). We’ll propose the right mix for your use case.
Not always. Load-management and smart panels can let multiple ports share capacity. We model your loads and only recommend upgrades if they’re truly required.
Small residential Level-2: typically days once permits and hardware are ready. Commercial/multifamily projects range from a few weeks to several months depending on permitting, utility work, and construction scope.
Often yes. Chicago generally requires 20% of parking spaces in many new developments to be EVSE-ready or EVSE-installed, with accessibility provisions; the City aligned its rules with state law in 2023. We design to code and future-proof for phased growth.
• Illinois EPA offers $4,000 rebates for qualifying purchases of new/used all-electric vehicles from IL-licensed dealers.
• ComEd’s 2025 programs offer up to $100M in rebates supporting fleet purchases, non-residential make-ready upgrades, and residential Level-2 rebates up to $3,750 per charger. We help you identify and apply for what you qualify for.
Yes. We manage site assessment, design, permitting, utility coordination, inspections, and commissioning—end-to-end.
Level 2 (208–240V) for homes, multifamily, workplaces, and destinations; and DC fast charging for commercial, fleet, and corridor sites. We’ll size power, number of ports, and networking to your real-world usage.
We serve Chicago and the broader Chicagoland area, including Cook County and neighboring counties.
