ClipperCreek electric vehicle (EV) charging station prices and installation cost in Chicago, IL and surrounding areas
Most electric vehicles come with a Level 1 charging station (slow or ‘trickle’ charging station). These plug in to a ‘standard’ outlet (US – NEMA 5-15). However, for EV owners who want the convenience of charging at home in only a few hours, a Level 2 charging station is ideal. Level 2 charging stations plug into a 240V outlet (like a clothes dryer or oven) and deliver more power to the car to charge it faster. GSHA Services provides a wide variety of reliable home EV chargers from the industry’s most trusted brands including ChargePoint, but also Tesla, Bolt EV and ChargePoint. See below ClipperCreek EV Charging Station Prices, and Installation Costs.

These EV chargers use a higher-output 240-volt power source, like the one that you plug your oven or clothes dryer into. Charging times are much faster than with a Level 1 EV charging station. A Mercedes B Class 250e, for example, can take 20 hours to fully charge (87 miles of range) with a standard 120-volt charging station. A 240-volt Level 2 charger can fully charge a 250e in three hours.
Works with ALL plug-in vehicles including the Porsche Panamera, Nissan LEAF, Hyundai Sonata, Kia Niro, etc.
Most EV owners find they want a faster charge and upgrade to a Level 2 charging station soon after buying their electric car. A high-speed charging station at home is much more convenient and also can add value to your home’s resale value.
Having a Level 2 EVSE at home is ideal because most EV owners find they do the majority of their charging at home. For example, Level 1 home charging simply won’t work for anyone who drives long distances regularly and doesn’t have the time or opportunity to recharge their car during the day. Upgrading to a Level 2 charging station for that owner becomes a necessity, especially if the car is fully electric and there aren’t any public charging stations at the workplace or nearby.
One advantage of the longer range cars is that they should seldom use all their charge in a single day’s commute. With ranges that top 200 miles and average daily commutes of less than 40 miles, it should only be a matter of topping off the battery at night, which can typically be done in a couple hours.
