By having your GM Energy products professionally installed by one of our preferred installation providers, you can rest assured that the equipment is installed properly, professionally and with the right permits. The preferred installer will help ensure your system is operating as intended to power your compatible select GM EV.*

Timing may vary significantly based upon where you live. Each local jurisdiction and utility has a slightly different process and timeline for approving installation permits and requests, so there is no one-size-fits-all. Once you submit your site assessment and are provided a quote, you can contact your designated installer to learn more about the projected timing for your specific home installation needs.

The installation process and timeline is heavily dependent on your equipment selection and preferences, current setup and your local jurisdiction for permitting. Based on these factors, some installations can be done in less than a month, but more complex installations can take longer.

Yes. While you're browsing products and installation, you can learn your “buying power.” That will tell you how much you could qualify for, with no impact to your credit score. 

If you're interested in financing products and installation with GM Financial, you'll need to prequalify as part of the checkout process.

To prequalify, you'll provide some basic information and GM Financial will give you an estimated loan offer with your total amount financed, rate, term, and monthly payment. The process is completely online and there's no impact to your credit.

If you want to finance products only, you’ll skip prequalification and go straight to the GM Financial credit application.

Prequalification is not a final determination of credit. GM Financial will make a decision after you have completed the credit application. If your application for financing is approved, GM Financial will provide the exact terms of your loan, including rate, term, monthly payment and total amount financed. 

No. But there are perks to being a GM Financial customer, such as working with a trusted global leader in finance, not to mention our friendly customer service. 

If your credit application is approved and you complete your loan agreement, you’ll get a welcome letter in the mail with all the information you need, including your account number, first payment due date and how to manage your account online. Generally, the first payment is due 30 days after your loan is funded.
