GM Energy to Offer Equipment to Transfer Power Between EVs and Homes

GM Energy’s initial offerings for residential customers will enable the use of vehicle-to-home (V2H) bidirectional charging technology to provide power from a compatible GM EV to a properly equipped home. This can help to mitigate the negative impacts of weather-related outages and integrate with future clean energy products for greater personal grid resiliency, according to GM.

The GM Energy product suite will be offered through a set of bundle options, providing residential customers with the ability to select solutions that align with their specific energy needs, budgets, and preferences, all online. GM Energy representatives will be available to connect customers with installer, Qmerit, who can help with obtaining necessary permits and connect with utilities.

At launch, customers will be able to purchase GM Energy’s V2H bundle, which includes equipment to enable the transfer of energy between a customer’s compatible EV and a properly equipped home. GM Energy will make additional residential solutions, including stationary energy storage and solar integration, available for purchase later this year.

The first vehicle in GM’s portfolio of EVs to be compatible with the GM Energy home product suite is the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV First-Edition RST, which will be equipped with V2H bidirectional charging technology. Moving forward, GM will continue to expand V2H bidirectional charging technology across its retail portfolio of Ultium-based EVs by model year 2026.

“GM Energy is committed to making the transition to an all-electric lifestyle an even more compelling option by simplifying all aspects of personal energy management,” said Wade Sheffer, vice president of GM Energy. “With the introduction of these new offerings, it has never been easier for our customers to access the expanded benefits of a holistic EV ecosystem, helping to mitigate the impacts of power outages and having the ability to offset certain energy costs over time.”

GM Energy’s products will be accessible through current GM mobile brand apps, allowing customers to manage the transfer of stored energy between applicable and connected GM Energy assets. Pricing, installation cost, and timeline for delivery for each of GM Energy’s initial product bundles will vary.
