GM Energy introduces energy storage and transfer product for US EV owners


GM Energy, a wholly owned subsidiary of General Motors, has launched its GM Energy PowerBank, a stationary energy storage system that allows transfer from the grid as well as integration with solar power equipment.

The product is available in 10.6 kWh and 17.7 kWh battery capacity variants. It can provide power to a home during an outage and can help offset peak-demand electricity rates. It can also store solar energy to supplement EV charging and provide power to a home without the presence of an EV. If there is proper grid interconnection, two fully charged 17.7 kWh units combined can provide enough electricity to power the average US home for up to 20 hours.

The GM Energy PowerBank is available as part of the GM Energy Home System bundle, which includes a GM Energy PowerShift charger and GM Energy Vehicle-to-Home Enablement kit. Customers who previously purchased the GM Energy V2H bundle can add on a GM Energy PowerBank.

“One of the core differentiators of GM Energy’s portfolio is its modularity,” said Wade Sheffer, VP of GM Energy. “The flexibility of our energy management tools gives our customers more control over their energy use.”
