The City of Naperville Electric Utility provides guidance for residents installing home electric vehicle charging systems. An electrical permit is required for EV charger installation. Residents should understand the impact a charging system may have on their home's electrical system and the Naperville Electric Utility system before installation. Level 2 chargers (240V) may require electrical panel upgrades. The city's electric utility (Naperville is one of few Illinois municipalities with its own electric utility) manages the grid capacity. Commercial EV charging stations are available at various locations throughout the city. Naperville supports EV adoption as part of its environmental sustainability initiatives. All electrical work must comply with the NEC as adopted by the city.
EV charger installation without electrical permit: code violation. Non-compliant electrical work: safety violation requiring correction.
