Today, General Motors announced it is offering eligible GM electric vehicle owners the opportunity to enroll in phase one of the Northern California utility Pacific Gas & Electric’s Vehicle-to-Everything pilot program. By enrolling, customers can receive up to $4,500 in incentives off the price of GM Energy bidirectional home charging equipment.
This pilot program is a glimpse into the future of energy resilience, efficiency, and sustainability – and GM Energy is working alongside leading utilities like PG&E to lead the conversation nationally.
By unlocking bidirectional charging for Vehicle-to-Home applications, GM and PG&E are demonstrating that electric vehicles can be more than just a mode of transportation. The product experience and the value for customers does not end when a GM EV is parked. The value keeps going without the customer needing to interact with the vehicle at all.
We call this the all-electric lifestyle.
