With so much negativity abounding on the internet, and particularly on social media, one homeowner decided to buck the trend by sharing good news about a recent home upgrade.
The homeowner used Qmerit to find a company that could install an electric vehicle charger for their new Chevrolet Bolt EUV Premier. And despite having a "nonstandard" electrical panel setup in their garage, the experience was seamless.
"Just wanted to share a positive experience," the homeowner wrote in the r/BoltEV subreddit.
Charging at home is one of the best ways to maximize EV savings by avoiding the hassle and expense of public chargers. Qmerit provides homeowners with free estimates for installing a Level 2 charger after answering a few simple questions about their garage and electrical panel.
This homeowner showed just how simple the process could be.
Roughly one week after buying their new car, the OP sent photos of their garage and electrical panel to Qmerit. Two days later, a local installer had accepted the bid, reached out to the homeowner, and scheduled an installation.
Roughly two weeks after that, the company showed up on time, provided advice on where the charger could go, and just like that, the install was complete.
"They got the job done in about 5 hours, cleaned up pretty well, explained the next steps and were on their way," the OP wrote. "Honestly a fantastic experience all around."

Charging at home can save EV owners hundreds of dollars per year. But those savings can really get amped up when homeowners pair their EV charger with rooftop solar panels.
By using solar energy to power EV chargers, homeowners reduce their reliance on dirty fuels and the grid, and they can bring their monthly electricity costs way down — sometimes to nearly $0. EnergySage's free tools allow homeowners to quickly compare quotes from several local, verified installers to find the deal that's right for them.
