GM owners can now power their homes during blackouts using their electric vehicles as massive backup batteries. The system works with everything from affordable Chevy Bolts to luxury Cadillacs.

General Motors sold over 246,000 electric vehicles in 2025 that can keep your lights on when the power grid fails. Now they're making the technology affordable with monthly leasing options instead of huge upfront costs.

GM Energy just launched a leasing program that lets electric vehicle owners use their cars as backup power for their homes without paying thousands upfront. The monthly payment plan could make reliable emergency power affordable for hundreds of thousands of EV drivers.

Imagine your car keeping your lights on for three weeks during a blackout. That's now possible with every current GM electric vehicle, plus a growing list of other EVs that can power your home when you need it most.
