WeaveGrid is partnering with GM Energy to connect eligible Chevrolet, GMC, and Cadillac EV owners with utility programs, building on more than a quarter-million bidirectional-capable GM EVs already on U.S. roads today. The collaboration is aligned with General Motors’ vehicle-to-grid (V2G) efforts and is designed to help eligible drivers access managed charging and grid services where utility programs are available. WeaveGrid, a grid-edge orchestration software provider for electric utilities, will use the partnership to extend the utility programs it already operates nationwide.
Highlights
- More than 250,000 bidirectional-capable GM EVs are already on U.S. roads, according to the companies.
- The GM Energy V2H Bundle lets eligible EVs send power into a home today, with grid-bound vehicle-to-grid capability planned for the future.
- The GM Energy Home System adds optional integrated stationary storage through a GM Energy PowerBank battery.
- WeaveGrid’s Distribution-Integrated System Capacity Orchestration (DISCO) platform underpins the distribution-level orchestration behind the new programs.
What Eligible Owners Can Access
Owners of bidirectional-capable GM EVs, paired with homes equipped with GM Energy’s vehicle-to-home (V2H) systems and a proper grid interconnection, will be able to enroll in utility programs through WeaveGrid’s platform where available. The GM Energy V2H Bundle lets these EVs send power into a home today, with the ability to send power to the grid planned for the future. The GM Energy Home System adds optional integrated stationary storage through a GM Energy PowerBank battery.
Distribution-Level Orchestration and Grid Services
Together, the programs are intended to support managed charging alongside broader grid services, including distribution-level orchestration, bidirectional charging, and residential energy storage, using WeaveGrid’s DISCO platform. For utilities, the companies say the collaboration makes it easier to include eligible GM vehicles and GM Energy resources in customer programs that shift load, support grid reliability, and improve grid utilization. For customers, it opens new opportunities to enroll in utility programs, access available incentives, and use their vehicles and home energy resources in ways that support the grid.
Mathias Bell, VP of Market Development and Partnerships at WeaveGrid, said: “GM Energy’s work across EVs, charging, and home energy reflects where the grid is heading. Managed charging is one of the most important near-term opportunities for utilities, and the same foundation can support a broader set of grid services, from distribution-level orchestration to bidirectional charging and residential storage. Working with GM Energy helps make these programs easier for customers to participate in and more valuable for utilities to operate.”
WeaveGrid’s Expanding Utility Footprint
The GM Energy collaboration extends WeaveGrid’s role as a platform utilities use to bring EVs and other distributed energy resources into managed programs. As EV adoption and distributed energy resources grow, the company says it is continuing to work with utilities to turn flexible resources into a tool for affordability, reliability, grid utilization, and customer value.
Participation in the utility programs described is subject to eligibility requirements set by each participating utility and may not be available in all areas.
