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 new arrangement builds on Qmerit’s long-standing relationship with General Motors (GM), a collaboration that has seen several successful efforts including charging installations for both retail and GM Envolve commercial customers.

GM Energy’s portfolio of residential products are the company’s first energy management solutions available to residential customers. The solutions enable the use of backup power for essential home needs when energy is unavailable from the grid.

GM Energy’s full suite of residential electrification products and technologies includes the GM Energy PowerShift Charger and the GM Energy V2H Enablement Kit, among other products.

Combined with GM’s Energy Cloud software, these components will enable customers to manage back-and-forth energy flows among the EV, home and stationary storage. This effectively provides a source of power during outages in addition to more day-to-day energy flexibility, including the ability to store excess power from the grid or solar panels to be used when needed.
