General Motors (GM) Energy has expanded its portfolio with the introduction of the GM Energy PowerBank, a stationary energy storage system designed for electric vehicle (EV) owners. This product allows users to store and transfer energy from the grid and integrate with solar power equipment. GM Energy has also made its energy management products available across all 50 states.
The GM Energy PowerBank is available in two battery capacity options, 10.6 kWh and 17.7 kWh. It can provide power to homes during outages or help offset higher electricity rates during peak demand periods. Additionally, customers can store and use captured solar energy, supplement EV charging, and power their homes without the need for an EV.
By combining two 17.7 kWh PowerBanks, users can create a storage system with a total capacity of 35.4 kWh, which can power the average American household for up to 20 hours.
According to Wade Sheffer, vice president of GM Energy, the flexibility and modularity of the GM Energy product lineup offer customers greater control over their energy use. Sheffer emphasized that these tools help reduce the impact of power outages and provide options for integrating renewable energy, such as solar power.

The GM Energy PowerBank is available as part of the GM Energy Home System bundle. This package includes a GM Energy PowerShift charger and the GM Energy Vehicle-to-Home Enablement kit. Customers who already own the GM Energy V2H Bundle can add the PowerBank to their existing system.
For customers interested in integrating solar power, GM Energy has partnered with Qmerit, a preferred installer, to provide site assessments, compatibility checks, and personalized quotes.

As with other GM Energy products, the GM Energy PowerBank and compatible solar power systems can be managed through GM’s mobile apps, allowing for seamless energy management.
