Illinois Electric Vehicle Charging Act (20 ILCS 627) requires new single-family homes to be EV-capable and limits HOA bans. Will County municipalities issue electrical permits for Level 2 chargers. Joliet and Bolingbrook have adopted the 2021 IECC with EV-ready provisions.
The Illinois Electric Vehicle Charging Act (Public Act 103-0053, codified at 20 ILCS 627) took effect January 2024 and requires newly constructed single-family homes and townhomes to include EV-capable wiring, and multi-unit buildings to provide EV-ready spaces. 765 ILCS 160/1-25 prohibits condo associations from adopting rules that effectively prohibit owner-installed EV chargers on designated parking. In unincorporated Will County, chargers require an electrical permit through Will County Land Use Department per the adopted 2020 NEC. Joliet, Bolingbrook, and Plainfield require separate electrical permits (typically $50-$100) with GFCI protection and Article 625 NEC compliance. ComEd offers EV rebate programs. Public DC fast chargers under Illinois REV Act receive CEJA funding. ADA Title III requires accessible public stations.
Unpermitted 240V installation: stop-work order, permit fee doubled retroactively, potential $100-$500 fine. HOA that illegally blocks EV installation may face homeowner civil action under 765 ILCS 160/1-25.
