Buy a new Chevy Bolt and GM will install Level 2 charging in your house

Chevy's Bolt EV has always offered pretty decent bang for your buck. With a sticker price under $40,000 and almost 300 miles of range, it's been a relatively popular model for General Motors, but now there's a refreshed Bolt EV version coming out for 2022, and to help get people excited about it, GM is offering something pretty cool.

Specifically, according to a report published Wednesday by Inside EVs, GM will pay to install a Level 2 EV charger at your house, including an appropriate NEMA 14-50 outlet and labor. If that sounds like a solid deal, it is. The catch is that it's only for what GM is calling a "standard installation," likely meaning that if there's any weirdness with your garage's wiring, you could be on the hook for the difference.

HOBOKEN, N.J., Feb. 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Noteworth, a first-of-its-kind virtual care delivery platform, today announced its partnership with CentraState Healthcare System to extend the continuity of care for patients in the community. CentraState recently implemented Noteworth to launch multiple programs to expand their care delivery, including telehealth and remote prevention and care management capabilities for diabetes and hypertension. 

"Having worked with various vendors for over 20 years, Noteworth is at the top of my list. Not only are their products aiding our patients, the process improvements have allowed our staff to see more patients in the same number of hours," Brian Dusheck, Director, Ambulatory Applications at CentraState Health System.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, CentraState had to quickly adjust the way they triaged, evaluated, and cared for patients to an approach that did not rely on in-person office visits. Within one month of implementation, Noteworth digitized CentraState's care curriculum and enabled the healthcare system to successfully deploy a digital medicine offering, reducing the need for in-person visits and making virtual care possible.
