link to announcement

GM Energy’s connected product and service offerings are designed to offer cohesive energy management for home, commercial and EV customers, with solutions ranging from bi-directional charging, vehicle-to-home (V2H) and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) applications, to stationary storage, solar products, software applications, cloud management tools, microgrid solutions, hydrogen fuel cells and more. GM Energy’s services will also enable the sale of energy from EV and stationary storage batteries back to utilities during peak, high energy consumption periods, unlocking even more potential value for customers and increasing resiliency for the electrical grid.


seems like a cool/smart idea. They are partnering with SunPower for the solar side, and obviously will have plenty of battery capacity as they ramp. Positive news as it seems like Ford has received a ton of great publicity with the F150 lightning charging features. Guessing we will see it on Escalade EV/anything with a bigger battery pack

I also saw that announcement today and had this question. So Ford is doing something with the F150 lightning and their Intelligent Home Backup System. They partner with Sunrun. Eventually this will expand to other Ford vehicles beyond the Lightning. I'm curious if these solutions will ultimately work with multiple brands, or if you will be tied within a particular manufacturer. In the future, it would be a bummer if you moved to a house with the GM system all installed, and it won't work with your Ford. Technically there is no reason this can't be interoperable, but I wonder if the OEM's will only allow their system to be used with their vehicles.

I have purchased the whole GM Home Energy system to go with my already installed Solar panels. Waiting on installation now for 3 months. Provider GM is connected with Qmerit was a complete bust with them constantly blaming my rural location being the problem. Finally found an installation firm and excited about getting this up and running.
