If you're considering buying an electric Chevy model, you're in good company. Rising gas prices and a host of incentives available at the state and federal levels make them a tempting proposition. There's one more good reason to buy a Chevy EV: you may be eligible to have a home EV charging station installed completely free by Qmerit.Â
How to Get Your Home Charging StationsÂ
To install a charging station at your home, you'll need to buy or lease the new Chevy Bolt EV or Chevy Bolt EUV. Then you will receive an email from Chevrolet containing an EV install form. Once you fill that out and submit it, Qmerit will send an email going over the details for the installation.
You will then be connected with the best electrician for the job in your area who will secure any necessary permits. Then it's just a matter of scheduling the installation, which generally takes between four and six hours.Â
Other Charging OptionsÂ
Qualifying buyers and lessees of Chevy EVs can get a credit of up to $1,000 that you can use for a Qmerit installation of a 240-volt outlet, including up to $250 for any permit fees. If you rent or cannot install a charger for some other reason, you will instead be issued a $500 credit that can be used at any EVgo public charging station.Â
Charging Your VehicleÂ
Once you get your charging station set up, you'll probably want to know how long it will take to charge your new Chevy EV. If you go with the Chevy Bolt, your home charger will fully charge the battery in about 7.5 hours. With the Chevy Bolt EUV, it takes about seven hours.
