Today’s electric vehicle technology is so powerful that it can power the electric grid in homes. Manufacturers such as General Motors<\/strong> are presenting innovations that serve as a great source of energy for homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The system allows the vehicle to be connected to the electrical network of homes and work as a generator, supplying power during a blackout or even at times when the service rate is more expensive.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition, owners will be able to store solar or wind energy in their car batteries during the course of the day and use it at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n General Motors<\/strong> reported that the features will initially be incorporated by the new Silverado EV 2024 <\/strong>and then will reach the rest of the Chevrolet, GMC <\/strong>and Cadillac<\/strong> electric portfolio along with Ultium Home<\/strong> and GM Energy Cloud<\/strong> software, which control the flow of energy from the vehicle to the home and vice versa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wade Sheffer, GM Energy VP, explained that by integrating V2H across the Ultium-based portfolio, they are making innovative technology available to more consumers, with benefits extending well beyond the vehicle itself and on a broader scale.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Introduced in early 2022, the Silverado <\/strong>has the identity features of other brand trucks, especially in the front end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Like the GMC Hummer EV<\/strong> or the Blazer EV<\/strong>, it is developed on GM’s Ultium <\/strong>platform, inheriting other systems such as four-wheel steering or adaptive air suspension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Inside, the electrified Silverado <\/strong>is committed to a much more modern and technological style. The dashboard stands out for the two huge 11- and 17-inch screens for the instruments and multimedia system, with the air vents located below.<\/p>\n\n\n\nCars with Innovation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
