Cool! I think GM had (has?) something similar, which is great.
I'm personally holding off until I can get a V2H charger, but if I didn't have charging at work as an option, I'd jump on this.
Chevy seems to be offering a $0 cost installation of a level 2 charger if you buy OR lease a Bolt or Bolt EUV: https://www.chevrolet.com/electric/ev-charging/home-charging/installation
They still do! It can work better for some than others. Some people have gotten ridiculously inflated quotes for a non-standard (only covered for $1K) installation for dumb reasons. That said, my panel is on the other side of my house but the ~50' run was still covered in full. Local installer was amazing to work with. And I've got more charging power than I know what to do with.
Keep in mind that the EVSE itself is the easy part. If you get the wiring in, you can always swap the box later on.
