More Than a Ride: How GM is Turning EVs into Home Power Plants

At Zohari Cars, we’ve tracked the evolution of the electric vehicle from a niche curiosity to a dominant force on the road. But General Motors is taking it a step further. Through the GM Energy initiative, your vehicle is no longer just transportation—it is now a critical component of your home’s infrastructure.

V2H: Total Energy Independence

Bidirectional charging is the "killer feature" of the Ultium platform.

It’s silent, immediate, and cleaner than any gas generator.

The Power Station Pro The GMC Sierra EV is capable of exporting 10.2 kilowatts of power. In recent testing, it powered high-intensity commercial lighting for an entire community event while consuming only 2% of its total battery capacity.

Solar & The Grid

The vision doesn't stop at emergencies. By integrating with solar panels and the GM Energy PowerBank, owners can now store renewable energy in their trucks and SUVs during the day to power their homes at night, drastically reducing energy costs and grid reliance.

Stay tuned to Zohari Cars as we continue to cover the intersection of automotive high-tech and sustainable living.
