American Honda Motor Co., Inc., is highlighting its current and future home and vehicle energy management technologies at RE+ 25, North America’s largest clean energy event in Las Vegas. The company’s display offers a preview of future vehicle-to-home (V2H) and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) energy capabilities, featuring the Acura RSX Prototype, a new electric vehicle (EV) built on Honda’s global EV platform.
Key Highlights
- Honda will display the Acura RSX Prototype paired with a bi-directional home charging station concept at RE+ 25 to demonstrate future V2H and V2G capabilities.
- A new collaboration with Southern California Edison (SCE) will test V2H and V2G technologies using future Honda and Acura electric vehicles.
- The Fastport eQuad Prototype and the hydrogen-powered CR-V e:FCEV will make their official debuts at the event.
- Honda is advancing its vision to utilize future EVs as “Virtual Power Plants” to help customers manage energy costs and support local power grids.
The Future of Home Energy Management
Honda is demonstrating its vision for EVs to function as “Virtual Power Plants,” a concept that empowers customers to strengthen their local power grids. In this model, a future Honda or Acura EV could charge during times of lower electricity costs and higher renewable energy availability. The vehicle could then send excess energy back to the owner’s home or to the grid when electricity costs are higher. This system is designed to intelligently manage a household’s electricity expenses while contributing to a more stable public power grid.
To advance this vision, American Honda and Southern California Edison (SCE) have agreed to test V2H and V2G technologies with upcoming Honda and Acura EVs. The collaboration aims to develop systems that allow EV owners to use their vehicles as backup power sources during outages and to power their homes during peak grid demand. This initiative, supported by the vehicle-grid integration platform ChargeScape, is expected to help EV owners save on energy costs and enhance overall grid reliability.
Current and Future Technologies on Display
The Honda display at booth #V8659 showcases a range of zero-emission products and advanced energy technologies.
The Acura RSX Prototype, which debuted at Monterey Car Week, previews a premium all-electric SUV expected in the second half of 2026. Built on Honda’s new EV architecture, it will feature mobile energy storage capabilities, enabling it to power home appliances and provide backup power.
Also making its debut is the Fastport eQuad Prototype, an electrified last-mile delivery vehicle. The eQuad features a pedal-assist powertrain and swappable batteries, offering an efficient, zero-emission transportation solution.
The 2025 Honda CR-V e:FCEV will also be featured. This compact CUV combines a U.S.-made fuel cell system with plug-in charging capability, offering a 270-mile EPA driving range rating.
Additional technologies on display include a bi-directional home charging station concept, an Emporia Vue Home Energy Monitor, home batteries, a heat pump water heater, and rooftop solar solutions. These products are part of the Honda Home Electrification and Acura Home Electrification marketplaces, which help customers integrate home charging and other energy products to reduce costs and environmental impact.
