    I just got my quote from the Qmerit installer assigned to me. He wanted over $2,750 for the install. Last year I had a 100 amp, #6 copper wire 240 circuit run for a commercial glass/ceramic kiln. It was $525. Something is not right here.

    There have been multiple similar situations reported with Qmerit. They use independent installers that know that you are getting $1,500 from GM so that becomes there base and they add the actual cost from there.

    When challenged on the price the installer will say that they have to pay off their training and certification by Qmerit as well as Qmerit’s referral fee.

    Since the rebate can be used for the wall equipment it may be better to use that $ for a high end unit and pay for the wiring with your own money.

    Just be sure the installer knows how to wire for electric car chargers, uses quality materials, is licensed/insured/bonded and pulls a permit so that his work is inspected.

    You don’t want to risk a fire that burns your house down due to a cheap/faulty installation. And your fire insurance company may not cover a claim that was not permitted.

    I didn’t know that the $1500 could be used for the charging equipment. I’ll contact the EV concierge to see how to arrange this. Thanks!

    Requirement for a QMerit install is another failure for the launch of the Lyriq. I love my car, but the process, over two year wait, some get $5,000 rebate while others (me) don’t and now the QMerit rip off have left me very unhappy. My complaints to the Cadillac concierge were a waste of time. First thing the QMerit installer asked was is someone else paying part of this. I refused to answer. So the quote came in over $1,500. Who could have seen that coming. An independent electrician will do the job for over $1,000 less. So now I am taking the free charging, which I will probably almost never use, and paying the electrician out of my pocket. For those still waiting for EV charging install, get a second quote!
