The GM Energy PowerBank aims to provide greater flexibility for consumers looking to manage their energy use effectively. Wade Sheffer, vice president of GM Energy, emphasized, “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.”
For solar power integration, GM Energy has partnered with Qmerit to provide installation assessments and quotes. As with existing GM Energy products, the PowerBank is compatible with GM’s brand mobile apps, ensuring seamless energy management.
