GM Energy has launched the GM Energy PowerBank, a stationary storage solution for electric vehicle (EV) owners to store and transfer energy from the grid, while also integrating with solar power systems. Available in 10.6 kWh and 17.7 kWh battery capacity options, the PowerBank can provide backup power during outages, help reduce energy costs during peak demand, and store solar energy for later use. It also allows users to supplement EV charging and power their homes even without the EV being plugged in.
By combining two 17.7kWh GM Energy PowerBanks, consumers can create 35.4kWh of stationary storage, enough to power the average American home for up to 20 hours.
“One of the core differentiators of GM Energy’s portfolio is its modularity,” said Wade Sheffer, vice president of GM Energy. “The flexibility of our energy management tools, combined with one of the market’s largest lineups of vehicle-to-home-capable EVs, gives our customers more control over their energy use, helping to mitigate the impact of power outages, integrating renewable energy options and unlocking additional values.”
The GM Energy PowerBank is available for purchase as part of the GM Energy Home System bundle, which also includes a GM Energy PowerShift charger and GM Energy Vehicle-to-Home Enablement kit. Customers who previously purchased the GM Energy V2H Bundle can simply add on a GM Energy PowerBank.
For customers integrating solar power, GM Energy will refer customers to preferred installer Qmerit for site assessments, compatibility checks, and personalized quotes.
As with existing GM Energy V2H products, the GM Energy PowerBank and compatible solar power systems will be accessible via GM’s brand mobile apps, for seamless energy management.
