General Motors (GM) is stepping further into the energy sector with the introduction of the GM Energy PowerBank. This new stationary storage product gives electric vehicle (EV) owners the ability to store energy, integrate it with solar power, and use it to manage household electricity needs.

This launch represents a push to expand GM Energy’s reach. Now, their energy products are available across all 50 states.

PowerBank Features: Storage, Efficiency, and Solar Integration

The GM Energy PowerBank is available in two sizes: 10.6 kWh and 17.7 kWh. These systems can store energy from the grid and then use that power when needed, especially during power outages or peak electricity rates.

By using solar power, the PowerBank adds an extra layer of energy efficiency. Homeowners can store solar energy to power their homes, charge EVs, or reduce electricity bills by using stored power during high-demand times. A key benefit is that the system functions even without an EV, making it a versatile solution for any household.

For customers needing even more capacity, GM allows them to combine two 17.7 kWh PowerBanks, resulting in 35.4 kWh of storage. This setup is enough to power the average U.S. home for 20 hours.

One of the biggest advantages of GM’s PowerBank is its modular design. Consumers can customize their energy storage setup to meet their needs. According to Wade Sheffer, vice president of GM Energy, this flexibility combined with GM’s lineup of vehicle-to-home (V2H) EVs, gives customers significant control over how they manage their energy. The modular design allows for renewable energy integration and provides backup during outages.

A Comprehensive Home System

The GM Energy PowerBank is part of the GM Energy Home System bundle. This bundle includes:

  • GM Energy PowerShift charger
  • GM Energy Vehicle-to-Home Enablement kit

For customers who already have a GM Energy V2H bundle, the PowerBank can be added on, offering seamless energy management integration. Those interested in solar power can connect with Qmerit, a preferred installer, for site assessments and customized installation plans.

Easy Energy Management with Mobile Apps

GM makes it simple to manage energy through their mobile apps. These apps allow users to control the PowerBank, V2H systems, and solar energy setups, all from one place.

As GM Energy continues expanding its portfolio, products like the PowerBank represent a shift toward giving customers more control over their energy consumption. This is especially relevant as renewable energy and electric vehicles become more central to daily life.
