One new electric vehicle driver in Portland, Oregon, was excited to share their experience with the installation of a Qmerit charger in their garage at home.
The scoop
The original poster shared their experience in the r/BoltEV subreddit.
"Picked up the Bolt yesterday from Boise," they said. "The dealership filled out the home charger install paperwork, and I immediately got an email from Chevrolet for the home install. Filled out the form and within an hour I had a company assigned by Qmerit to do the install."
According to the original poster, the process was incredibly smooth and quick.
"Within the next hour got a quote from the company that they would consider the install standard with no out-of-pocket costs," they said. "Accepted the quote, and they called and scheduled me for next Thursday. … All this within 24 hours, very smooth."
How it's helping
One of the main reasons to get an electric vehicle is to save money on fuel. Charging up is more affordable than fueling up, and in most cases, the cheapest way to charge is at home.
If you want to install a Level 2 charger to speed up your charging, start with a free estimate from Qmerit. All you need to do is answer a few questions about your garage and electrical panel, and you can get immediate answers about your installation.
Not only can you save money with a Qmerit home charger, but you can boost those savings by installing solar panels to supply the electricity. If you do, use TCD's Solar Explorer to help you research your options and save money.
