.GM wants to be EV owner's energy ecosystem in the car and at home:

at up to 19.2 kilowatts for up to several days on a fully charged battery—at least in the top version, with modifications to home wiring.have conventional three-prong, 120-volt outlets at the base of the rear seat to run various consumer electronics. Their output of up to 6.6 kW won't power your entire home, though it might keep your kitchen refrigerator running.

Emergency backup power gets greater attention, though. As more frequent extreme weather events cause widespread, heavily publicized power outages, interest in simple, convenient, automatic backup for home energy will grow. Many homeowners don't want to wrestle with a noisy gasoline-fired generator, which can't be used indoors and produces exhaust emissions. EVs offer an alternative: Plug in the car at night and get the same backup.

Specific details of how that will work have yet to be spelled out. Its first products and services won't go into production for a year, sometime in the fourth quarter of 2023. If successful, it's not hard to imagine a future GM role in helping homeowners and commercial customers install solar panels or hydrogen fuel cells, set up microgrids, and participate more actively in all facets of energy generation and storage.Electric utilities today have little way to store energy.
