GM thinks EVs can help offset AI’s energy suck with vehicle-to-grid tech

General Motors has announced new initiatives to utilize its electric vehicle batteries as a resource for grid stability, addressing the surging energy demands of AI data centers. By enabling bidirectional charging, GM allows its current EV customers to feed stored energy back into the power grid during peak times. The company is currently testing this technology through partnerships with utilities like PG&E and DTE Energy, aiming to lower costs and improve grid reliability. Additionally, GM is expanding its energy portfolio by developing sodium-ion battery storage systems and launching an integrated "Energy Pass" app to simplify public charging for its customers.
