General Motors’ GM Energy expands portfolio, launches PowerBank

GM Energy is expanding its portfolio with the launch of the GM Energy PowerBank, a stationary storage product that gives EV owners the power to store and transfer energy from the grid, and the option of integrating with solar power equipment. The General Motors unit has also expanded access to energy management products across all 50 states. The GM Energy PowerBank, which comes in in 10.6 kWh and 17.7 kWh battery capacity variants, can provide power to a home when there is an outage or help to offset higher electricity rates during peak demand. Customers can also store and use captured solar energy, supplement charging of EVs and provide power to a home without the presence of an EV. By combining two 17.7kWh GM Energy PowerBanks, consumers can create 35.4kWh of stationary storage, enough to power the average American home for up to 20 hours.
