GM Energy has announced vehicle-to-grid (V2G) support for its electric vehicles and a new partnership to develop sodium-ion batteries for grid storage. The V2G technology, being piloted with utilities PG&E and DTE Energy, aims to help balance power grids strained by increasing AI and data center demands. GM also revealed it has over 250,000 EVs in its fleet that could potentially support these grid-balancing capabilities.
Background
Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology allows electric vehicles to send power back to the electrical grid, helping to stabilize supply and demand. As AI and data centers increase electricity consumption, utilities are seeking innovative solutions to manage grid loads more effectively.
