<p>General Motors is integrating bidirectional charging as a standard across its EV portfolio, enabling vehicles to power homes during outages and support vehicle-to-grid flows. GM is developing large-scale energy storage batteries and partnering with Peak Energy on sodium-ion tech for grid stability. Collaborations include PG&E in California, targeting 52,000 EVs in grid-balancing by 2030, and DTE Energy in Michigan for backup capacity testing. Currently, over 250,000 bidirectional-capable GM EVs are on US roads.</p>

- General Motors (GM) is enhancing its bidirectional-capable electric vehicles (EVs) to act as residential power sources during grid failures.  
- The company is integrating this capability across its portfolio and developing large-scale battery systems for utilities, alongside a partnership with Peak Energy for sodium ion chemistry.  
- By 2030, GM aims to have 130,000 EVs in Northern California contributing to grid-balancing efforts, while it currently has over 250,000 bidirectional vehicles on the road.
