V2H-CAPABLE GM EVS

Vehicle-to-home (V2H) or bidirectional charging enables energy to flow in two directions. Not only does it send energy from your home to your EV for charging (unidirectional)—it also enables you to send energy from your V2H-capable GM EV* back to your home when the grid is down (bidirectional), providing you with a brilliant new source of backup power.

Having V2H capabilities will enable your GM EV to provide power to your properly equipped home* in a blackout when paired with the GM Energy PowerShift Charger and GM Energy V2H Enablement Kit.

V2H capability will vary by vehicle and is dependent on factors such as hardware specifications, operating system versions, and software updates. Select GM EVs are V2H capable. See vehicle list here. Some eligible 24MY EVs will require a dealership or over-the-air update to enable bidirectional charging. Weather conditions, life of battery, vehicle variations and usage, and other external factors may impact the duration of power supply. Power supply may be interrupted.

It is not recommended that the following devices be powered with the GM Energy PowerShift Charger and V2H Enablement Kit: Medical Devices.
