For example, the 2024 Silverado EV First Edition RST can provide backup power to homes using its advanced battery and the GM Energy PowerShift Charger.
GM Energy also dey offer other home energy solutions like the GM Energy PowerBank, which allows users to capture and store energy from the grid or solar panels for later use. This can help reduce energy costs by allowing users to store energy during off-peak hours and use it when costs are higher.
The GM Energy Home System, which includes the PowerShift Charger, PowerBank, Home Hub, and Inverter, is designed to work seamlessly to store and use power for maximum efficiency. This system ensures that homes and compatible GM EVs remain powered up during emergencies or when energy costs are high.
These innovations by GM are part of their effort to make energy management smarter and more sustainable, especially as the energy grid becomes less reliable. With these solutions, users can enjoy greater energy freedom and potentially lower their electric bills).
