GM Energy Home System allows Chevrolet, Cadillac, and GMC EV owners to store energy and supply it back to their homes. This advanced system enables vehicle-to-home capability, keeping essentials running and sanity intact during blackouts. The technology is available in several configurations, including the GM Energy V2H Bundle and PowerShift Charger.
The GM Energy Home System is designed to provide peace of mind for homeowners with GM EVs. With a wide range of vehicles supported, from entry-level models like the 2027 Chevrolet Bolt to full-size Silverado EV Max with over 200kWh capacity, this system makes your EV more than just a mode of transportation. It's a reliable source of backup power during emergencies.
The GM Energy Home System is available in various configurations, including the GM Energy V2H Bundle and PowerShift Charger. If you already have the PowerShift Charger for your GM EV, you'll need the GM Energy V2H Enablement Kit to enable bidirectional charging. This kit includes the GM Energy Home Hub, Inverter, and Dark Start Battery.
For customers who want even more power, they can add GM Energy PowerBank battery backups. These always-connected batteries provide additional power to the home if your GM EV is not connected. The top-of-the-line GM Energy Home System features a maximum 35.4kWh PowerBank capacity.
The system also supports compatible solar setups, which may help achieve even greater energy savings. By charging a GM Energy PowerBank home battery and using stored energy when prices are high, homeowners can save money on their utility bills.
GM is building all of its new EVs with this technology already implemented, with over 246,000 V2H-capable vehicles sold to date. The system is not limited to high-end or premium models, supporting a wide range of GM EVs from the 2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV to the $400,000 Cadillac CELESTIQ.
The installation process requires professional assistance and cannot be done as a DIY project. GM Energy works with professionals to install the system based on the house, local codes, and utility. The equipment is neatly set up in the garage or other designated areas of the home.
In some cases, the Home Hub may be located by the Utility meter on the opposite side of the house, providing a clean and efficient setup. The GM Energy PowerShift Charger, PowerBank, and Inverter all sit neatly in the garage but are easily accessible when needed.
The integration of GM Energy with new EVs provides a unique solution for homeowners during power outages. By leveraging their vehicle's massive battery capacity, GM EV owners can keep their homes running smoothly and safely until the power is restored.
