Hi-Lite Electric provides EV charger installation and service for residential and commercial clients throughout Glen Ellyn and the surrounding DuPage County communities. We are a family-owned electrical contractor with deep local roots, a fully equipped team, and a reputation built on showing up, following through, and delivering work that holds up to inspection.
Every EV charger project in Glen Ellyn starts with a conversation about how you plan to use your vehicle and what your current electrical setup can support, and in many cases we schedule an on-site visit before providing a quote so we can assess your panel, wiring, and available circuit capacity firsthand. Once we have a clear picture of what the project involves, we walk you through a straightforward estimate with no surprises buried in the fine print. We schedule efficiently, arrive when we say we will, work cleanly, and leave the space the way we found it when the work is done.
Glen Ellyn has no shortage of older homes near downtown and Lake Ellyn where the electrical panel was not designed with today’s load demands in mind, which is exactly why we take a consultative approach before any electrical panel service or charger installation gets underway. Whether you are planning for one vehicle today or thinking ahead to a garage with multiple charging stations, Hi-Lite Electric can help you map out a phased approach that makes sense for your property and your goals. We are also your resource for other electrical projects down the road, from lighting and ceiling fans to full commercial electrical services for your business location.
Yes, most Level 2 EV charger installations in Glen Ellyn require a permit through the village. Hi-Lite Electric handles the permitting process and works directly with local municipal offices, which helps keep the project moving without unnecessary delays.
That is one of the first things we assess, and it is a big reason why we often schedule an on-site visit before quoting a project. Homes in Glen Ellyn’s established neighborhoods frequently have older panels that may need an upgrade before a dedicated EV circuit can be added safely and to code.
Level 1 charging uses a standard household outlet and is very slow, typically adding only a few miles of range per hour. Level 2 chargers operate on a dedicated 240-volt circuit and charge most vehicles fully overnight, which is the setup most homeowners and businesses find practical.
Most residential Level 2 installations are completed in a single visit once the scope is confirmed and any panel work is addressed. Commercial installations or multi-unit setups may take longer depending on the scope of the electrical infrastructure involved.
Yes, we install and service EV charging stations for commercial clients across DuPage County, including multi-unit charging setups for fleets, parking facilities, and employee charging programs. Our team is experienced with the permitting and load planning that commercial EV projects require.
Every installation includes a 90-day parts warranty and a 1-year labor warranty. We also carry our full licensing, bonding, and insurance on every project, and Hi-Lite Electric is ICC Certified (#25-0696).
Hi-Lite Electric is available around the clock and our vans are fully equipped, so we can often accommodate urgent scheduling requests. Reach out to us and we will work to find the earliest available appointment that fits your timeline.
