“GM Energy’s growing ecosystem of energy management solutions will help accelerate GM’s vision of an all-electric future by further expanding access to even more benefits that EVs can offer,” Wade Sheffer, vice president of GM Energy, said in a statement. “By integrating V2H across our entire Ultium-based portfolio, we are making this groundbreaking technology available to more consumers, with benefits that extend well beyond the vehicle itself, and at a broader scale than ever before.”

The V2H offering follows a pilot that began last year with Pacific Gas and Electric Company in California.

The first vehicles to receive the technology will be the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV RST, the 2024 GMC Sierra EV Denali Edition 1, the 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV, the 2024 Chevrolet Equinox EV, the 2024 Cadillac Lyriq and the upcoming Cadillac Escalade IQ.

GM’s V2H offering is part of its new business unit called GM Energy. GM Energy promotes a new line of energy products to homeowners, businesses and utilities. The company will use bidirectional charging technology in partnership with SunPower.

Customers who want to use V2H technology will have to purchase the Ultium Home V2H Bundle. It includes GM’s PowerShift Charger and a V2H enablement kit. GM’s Energy Cloud software platform will let users manage the flow of energy between their cars and their home. GM has not yet released pricing on any of its energy products.
