General Motors has introduced its first vehicle-to-home charging products through its new subsidiary GM Energy. The V2H charging bundle includes the necessary hardware to transfer energy between a compatible Ultium-based GM electric vehicle and a properly equipped home, with the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV First-Edition being the first compatible vehicle. GM plans to expand V2H capability across its lineup of Ultium-based EVs by 2026, allowing customers to harness EV batteries' stored energy to power homes during outages or peak demand periods.

GM Energy's V2H charging products, offered as bundles, will be installed by GM Energy's partner Qmerit and can be managed through GM's Energy Cloud software platform. Ford offers a similar V2H charging kit for the F-150 Lightning, while Volkswagen has launched a vehicle-to-home pilot program in Sweden. GM Energy plans to launch additional residential products, such as stationary energy storage and solar integration, later this year, aiming to provide a comprehensive EV ecosystem for customers.
