GM announced the availability of its first home energy products, which turn an electric vehicle into a mobile generator.

General Motors’ initial new home energy products are now available to purchase, including the equipment necessary to turn your GM-made electric vehicle into a mobile power generator for your home. GM has been teasing its new home energy products for months, including a home EV charger and vehicle-to-home kit that enables a home to pull energy from an EV battery in the event of a blackout.

GM’s other EVs, including the GMC Sierra EV Denali, Chevy Equinox and Blazer EVs, and Cadillac Lyriq, will have to wait for over-the-air software updates or even manual updates at a dealership in order to gain the ability. The company has said that all of its EV will come with bidirectional charging as standard starting in 2026. A “properly equipped home” and “proper grid interconnection” may also be required, GM says.
