What is Vehicle-to-Home (V2H) technology and how does it work?

Vehicle-to-Home (V2H) technology allows your V2H-capable GM EV to act as a source of backup power for your properly equipped home* in a blackout. By connecting your V2H-capable GM EV to your home energy system, you can use the energy stored in the vehicle's battery to provide power to select household appliances during power outages.

Can I use my GM EV to power my home during a blackout?

Your V2H-capable GM EV can provide power to your properly equipped home* in a blackout.

What do I need to set up Vehicle-to-Home (V2H) functionality in my home?

To enable V2H functionality, you'll need a GM Energy PowerShift Charger and GM Energy V2H Enablement Kit* to move energy between your V2H-capable GM EV and your properly equipped home* in a blackout.

Will I need an adapter to enable V2H?

The NACS-native OPTIQ requires the GM PowerShift AC Charging Adapter to charge with the GM Energy PowerShift and the GM CCS DC Adapter to discharge power from your vehicle’s battery to your home.
