One electric vehicle driver was excited to share their new home upgrade after having an EV charging station installed by Qmerit.
"Qmerit installed my plug today," the original poster wrote in the r/BoltEV subreddit. "Everything went perfect, and I only have [a] 100 amp panel."
They included a photo of the work, showing a simple setup with the charging station's control panel and a hook to hold the charging cord.
Drivers who switch to EVs save an incredible amount on fueling up, especially if they do their charging at home.
One driver who had gone electric four years earlier said their car was "crazy cheap to drive," and another detailed how they could drive essentially for free by taking advantage of programs offered in their area.
By adding a charging station at home, the OP made it possible to tap into these incredible savings.

Get cost-effective air conditioning in less than an hour without expensive electrical work The Merino Mono is a heating and cooling system designed for the rooms traditional HVAC can't reach. The streamlined design eliminates clunky outdoor units, installs in under an hour, and plugs into a standard 120V outlet — no expensive electrical upgrades required. And while a traditional “mini-split” system can get pricey fast, the Merino Mono comes with a flat-rate price — with hardware and professional installation included. |
"You have electric AC, electric stove, electric dryer?" a commenter asked. "Seems like EV charging with all three of those running would max out the load calculations."
"The electrician told me it's never a problem unless you have a hot tub or heated flooring," the original poster replied. "Either way, I just set it to charge in the middle of the night."
