Builds on Long Standing Collaboration; Helps Create Streamlined Customer Experiences

AUSTIN - Qmerit, North America's leading provider of distributed workforce management solutions for EV chargers and other electrification technologies, has been selected as a preferred installer for GM Energy's initial suite of residential products.

This recent collaboration builds upon the longstanding partnership between Qmerit and General Motors (GM), a cooperation that has yielded successful initiatives, including charging installations for both retail and GM Envolve commercial customers.

GM Energy's array of residential products represents the company's inaugural energy management solutions available to residential customers. These solutions are crafted to offer enhanced energy independence, resilience, and overall value. They empower users to leverage backup power for essential home needs in situations where energy from the grid is unavailable.

Qmerit's outstanding assessment platform and its extensive national network of certified electricians will play a pivotal role in ensuring a smooth and efficient installation process for GM Energy's comprehensive suite of residential electrification products and technologies. This suite includes notable offerings such as the GM Energy PowerShift Charger and the GM Energy V2H Enablement Kit.

When combined with GM's Energy Cloud software, these components will empower customers to manage bidirectional energy flows among the electric vehicle (EV), home, and stationary storage. This functionality not only serves as a power source during outages but also provides day-to-day energy flexibility, allowing the storage of excess power from the grid or solar panels for later use.

"As GM continues to advance its vision of an all-electric future, our new energy management product and service offerings will help make EV ownership an even more compelling option," says Wade Sheffer, vice president of GM Energy. "By expanding our collaboration with Qmerit as a preferred installer, more customers will have access to the extended benefits of EV technology and participate in a larger energy ecosystem than ever before."

GM Energy's lineup of residential solutions is designed to provide flexibility, enabling customers to choose from various product bundles that suit their energy requirements and financial considerations.

"As noted in our new white paper Electrification2030, America's sweeping transition toward a clean-energy electrical grid will hinge greatly on new home-based products and services," said Qmerit founder and CEO Tracy K. Price.

"GM Energy's suite of residential products and services will substantially help meet that crucial need, and we're excited and proud to partner with GM Energy to bring those offerings to homes nationwide."
