EV Charger Electricians in Arlington Heights, IL
Electric vehicles have several advantages over traditional vehicles that are powered by combustion engines that run on gasoline. Electric vehicles are much more eco-friendly, and they are less expensive to operate than vehicles that need to be filled with gas. Another major advantage is that electric vehicles can be charged conveniently at your home with no need to run to a gas station or find a public EV charger.
At Nu-Trend, we make EV charging at home a possibility with EV home charger installation services in Arlington Heights, IL, and the surrounding areas. Our electricians are certified to install level 2 EV charging stations in homes and ensure that your electrical infrastructure is equipped to handle the power demands of the station. Having a level 2 charger installed in your home will allow convenient overnight charging so your vehicle is always ready to go.
EV Charger Installation in Arlington Heights, IL
People who own electric vehicles overwhelmingly prefer to charge their vehicles at home because of the convenience. When you purchase an electric vehicle, it typically comes with a level 1 charger that can work when plugged into a standard outlet. While these chargers help, they are not very powerful as they only add about 3-5 miles per hour of charging. It can take more than 24 hours to charge an electric vehicle using only a level 1 charger.
Level 2 chargers are more powerful than level 1 chargers and provide faster charging at home. These chargers can give the battery of your electric vehicle a full charge within 10 hours which means you can charge your electric vehicle overnight. Level 2 charging stations require the same amount of voltage as a large appliance such as a water heater or dryer.
Install Level 2 EV Charger at Home
If you are interested in having a level 2 EV charging station at your home for convenient charging, it must be installed by a professional. Our electricians at Nu-Trend are certified to provide quality installation for level 2 chargers and ensure that they can be integrated safely into the electrical system of your home.
We will start by inspecting your electrical system to see if it can handle the power demands of a level 2 charger and then discuss your available options for a charging station with you. We can make any adjustments needed to your electrical system to accommodate the charger and provide quality installation so that you can charge your electric vehicle reliably and conveniently in your home. After installing your charging station, our electricians can also provide ongoing maintenance and repairs to keep your charger functioning properly.
The level 2 EV charging stations we provide can be used for a wide range of models from Ford, BMW, Nissan, Toyota, Hyundai, Volvo, Kia, Volkswagen, and more. We do not offer charging stations for Tesla vehicles.

Nu-Trend did a professional installation job for my EV Charger at home. The technician was thorough and put safety first. Although, it was not cheap – The quality of work gives a peace of mind. They took care of City permit etc.
Kevin Gallagher
Updated panel from 100 to 200 A and installed EV charger. Team was very professional. Shane was responsive and ushered through the permit. Dave and Jr did a clean install and were respectful in my home. Would consider them for future electrical work.
Martin Gardner
We had Nu-Trend add an EV charging port to our garage which was organized via Qmert, who contracted Nu-Trend to do the installation. I first met Dave, who came out to inspect the job site and put together a quotation; he is an excellent, Knowledgeable, and professional electrician. Shane at Nu-Trend took care of all the paperwork which includes a work permit from the local council and inspection after installation. Dave and a co-worker who was also excellent came to the house and did the installation in about half a day, the quality of the workmanship was impeccable. The work passed Inspection with flying colors.
