GM Vitality has bolstered its residence energy management product lineup by introducing the PowerBank, a cutting-edge modular energy storage system capable of harnessing and storing power from the local grid and seamlessly integrating with a homeowner’s residential solar energy setup and electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
GM Vitality is the standalone company, formerly a part of Ultium Charge 360, established two years ago to focus exclusively on home and business charging solutions for General Motors’ electric vehicle portfolio. The initial composition of that corporate entity comprised two primary divisions: Ultium Dwellings and Ultium Businesses. In summer 2023, General Motors’ Vitality division unveiled its initial lineup of Ultium Home products, a trio of packages featuring vehicle-to-home (V2H) charging capabilities from the onset.
GM Vitality demonstrated the capabilities of its energy management products by powering an entire mansion using its product and a Chevrolet Silverado EV.
On display at the time was GM’s bidirectional EV charger, dubbed Powershift Charger, and the GM Vitality V2H Enablement Equipment, which comprises an AC-DC inverter, Home Hub – a computer managing hundreds within the home – and a dark start battery providing a small amount of power as the system begins up and transitions from home to vehicle energy?
Had you scrutinized the images from that day more closely, you would likely have noticed an additional item in the storage facility that appeared to be a battery charging station. At present, GM Vitality has officially announced a fresh addition to its home product portfolio, the PowerBank.
The innovative energy powerhouse, GM Vitality, now brings its dynamic PowerBank technology to every corner of the United States. This bold expansion marks a major milestone in the company’s mission to empower individuals and communities through reliable and eco-friendly power solutions. As the demand for portable power grows, GM Vitality is poised to meet this need head-on with its cutting-edge PowerBank products, engineered to keep devices charged and ready whenever and wherever they’re needed.
Today, GM Vitality announced a significant milestone as it efficiently expands its business to all 50 states in the US, providing electric vehicle owners across the nation with access to its comprehensive suite of energy management products, including the newly launched PowerBank.
The GM Vitality PowerBanks are available in two distinct battery capacities: 10.6 kilowatt-hours and 17.7 kilowatt-hours, allowing homeowners to enjoy backup power during outages – such as those triggered by a Class 5 hurricane – or reduce their electricity bills during peak demand periods?
The PowerBanks have the potential to retailor excess energy generated by a household’s solar panels, enabling homes to power themselves or charge electric vehicles with reduced reliance on the local grid? GM Vitality’s trusted solar partner is Qmerit, a go-to expert that handles website audits, compatibility checks, and tailored quote services for its clients.
Because of its flexible architecture, pairing two high-capacity PowerBanks enables the provision of 35.4 kWh of grid-scale energy storage. According to GM Vitality, this technology is capable of powering a typical American home for up to 20 hours. Wade Sheffer, Vice President at GM Vitality, shared insights on the vast potential of their latest PowerBanks innovation.
One of the key unique selling points of GM Vitality’s product line is its modular design, which sets it apart from competitors. Our advanced power management tools, combined with an extensive lineup of vehicle-to-home-enabled EVs, empower customers to exercise greater control over their power consumption, effectively minimizing the impact of energy outages, seamlessly integrating renewable energy sources, and unlocking additional benefits.
The Vitality PowerBank is a core component of the firm’s Vitality Dwelling System package, which also includes a PowerShift charger and the aforementioned Car-to-Dwelling Enablement package, allowing for seamless integration and enhanced overall functionality. Clients previously purchasing the GM Vitality V2H Bundle now have the option to separately acquire a GM Vitality PowerBank, offering greater flexibility in their purchasing decisions.
Like other GM Vitality products, Powerbanks are tracked and controlled through any one of the GM-branded mobile applications. Customers can delve deeper into the world of GM Vitality Dwell on our website, where product experts guide them through an immersive digital experience.
