The project will pair V2H with Residio smart thermostats to potentially save money on home electricity bills, maximize use of clean energy, and reduce strain on the grid, Ford said in a press release.

There are various types of bidirectional charging capabilities, with Vehicle to Load (V2L), Vehicle to Home (V2H), and Vehicle to Grid (V2H) the most popular.

Ford has advertised that its electric F-150 would have a maximum V2H power output of 2.4 kw, potentially upgradable to 9.6 kw —about the same as a single higher-end Tesla Powerwall home energy ...

The V2H charging tech is part of the Toyota City Project, an ongoing research project on smart grid technology supported by Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.

The new V2H capability is standard across all 2025 Blazer EV trims, and allows the all-electric crossover to provide backup power to a home during grid outages, help to reduce energy costs by ...

Meanwhile, V2H takes the energy from the vehicle’s battery and uses it to power a home or building. This lessens the demand on the grid, and it can act as a backup during a power outage.

GM will offer V2H, or vehicle-to-home, bidirectional power on all its Ultium-based electric vehicles by model year 2026. The Silverado EV pickup truck will be first to get it when it debuts this year.

Many studies over the years have shown that while peak/off-peak charging, and smart networked charging, are a start, V2H and V2G could take grid stabilization to a next level. That includes a 2017 ...

When smart homes and EV charging intersect, the question is no longer where we plug in, but how intelligently the home ...

The introduction of standard V2H capability across the 2025 Chevy Equinox EV lineup aligns with GM’s broader strategy to expand bidirectional charging technology to all Ultium-based EVs by 2026 ...

GM said Tuesday it is bringing its vehicle-to-home (V2H) bidirectional charging technology to its entire lineup of Ultium-based electric vehicles by model year 2026. Ultium is GM’s new electric ...
