GM: Makes a tech demonstrator booth in a convention center.
First commenters here: Wul, those buildings have generators.
It’s good that it does not go back to grid. The idea of being off grid is appealing.
I'm a fan; it's expensive but eventually this tech will decrease in price.
There is a guy on CZcams who powered his house by a natures generator automatic transfer switch and his Kia ev6.
Yep, I wanted a 720p plasma screen TV when it was $10,000 but I didn't buy one.
@@frankcoffeyNow you own a 4k TV or even better 8k OLED?
@@nevco8774 I have a 4k and I can get a truckload of them for what that old plasma would have cost.
@@frankcoffey Yet, as always, new adopters have to foot the bill for innovation. That was and will be a thing.
I am greatful to new adopters for doing it so folks like me to have the chance to enjoy the better cheaper technology when time comes.
We have a couple of Model Ys and a nat gas generator. I live in the foothills west of Denver and we have a lot of power outages and I'm on well water. That means I lose water when I lose power. Not good. My nat gas gen has saved my bacon often. It can carry the whole load of the house including doing 120 volt charging of one of our Teslas, gaining about 25% battery in 20 hrs. I really don't want to use my car battery to power my house, but I probably will get some power walls when it's time to replace my generator.
Glad to see more OEM vehicle manufacturers getting onboard with vehicle to home / grid delivery.
Excellent video! great to see GM innovations.
Very neat. Not something I would install on its own, but if I were to update the service/breaker on the home or if I were building a home, definitely something I would include even if I have no plans to use it right away
G’Morning TFL, good morning Andrei! Expanding the capabilities of a vehicle - EV, I guess being able to utilize the power in more than just propulsion
Step 1: buy a $5 M house
Step 2: buy a $100k portable battery pack, instead of having a backup solution
It would have been funny to see them try to host this event at some 4,000 sq/ft cookie cutter on a half acre.
Yes, while tethering your transportation to your home. Always nice to limit yourself during emergencies.
@@plmn93 if someone actually plans and spends the money to install one of these systems on their home, they've likely got more than one car.
@@mtnman1984 True. And if somebody actually spends this kind of money on a 1/2 ton pickup and lives in an area where this is an issue they've likely got a generator than can run indefinitely, or at the very least would prefer one.
@@plmn93 quite likely, unless they have solar and a battery bank already. It's not common, but I've seen it first hand. Charging an EV with it too.
Amazing,mindblowing,gamechanging,GM!
Great video thank you, at some point can we see the interaction inside the vehicle on what the computer is doing and the settings inside the truck that are powering the home?
The real question is that will this system be vehicle agnostic?
I do not like buying things for the home that only work with one brand of technology.
Exactly! Unfortunately, I think that's the future. None of the auto manufacturers want to create a system that can be used by a different brand. Unless the government gets involved and creates a standard I think that's the future; locking people into particular car brands that goes with their home off grid backup system.
Thats where our government has to step in, these companies will not play nice for our benefit.
At this point it’s just Ford and Chevy with this tech. I would have thought Tesla would come out with this first. There is a couple independent US companies that have systems that can do this but give it 5 years I’m sure the cost will drop
NEMA allowing a bunch of proprietary junk is stunning.
Oh you mean like the Tesla charging infrastructure that everyone raves about which many are having to make the physical switch to because they _aren’t_ agnostic?
It’s almost like *gm’s* _Ultium_ is held to a higher standard than the company that sells the most EVs.
Beautiful house. This is one of the GM exec’s house in Birmingham, right?
I spent 200 dollars on a power cord for the pro power onboard for my lightning. Already had the transfer switch. I think with this GM setup you need to be a millionaire.
Ford has this option also, I was quoted 7k. I did what you did, I just got a cable.
@@mcyclonegt Did you fair out okay with the gfci errors? Mine is working now but needed some frigging. Glad I did not wait for a storm to figure it out. This GM setup looks like its about 30k dollars.
@@peiguy1982The price was given in the video. No need to guess based on looks. $7500.
@@TroySavary Fair enough. So 10k where I live. And not allowed either by local electrical code.
Good stuff. Expensive AF and will be for foreseeable future.
Delusional. It’s already dropped $10,000 in price since its reveal.
@@G-Rated that's only cause no one is buying this trash
@@user-vx1xm9cd8g Wrong. That’s not why, you’re a clown 🤡
Again, I’ll never understand the anti-EV trolls and hate-train who sprints to every new EV review or video thumbnail they see posted because they can’t help themselves but to try discouraging others from being interested in the products. Weird.
I think the hate came from the governments mandate to make cars only EV. People just don't like being told what to buy or do. If the government leave it alone, there wouldn't be so much hate. I don't care too much about EV but the home power solar sector is very nice.

Cool that they are doing this for the Rich people. I have a mechanic switching system that costs a couple hundred dollars parts and labor. You can plug in a battery, generator or a compatible ev. But you have to mechanically turn move levers with your hands and brains.
This the house of average Silverado EV buyer.
Yes with an HOA so you can't park a trailer or boat or camper or car hauler or construction/landscaper trailer 😂
Great price!
Less than I expected but I have a suspicion that the installation will cost a lot considering what will be necessary send power to only some circuits.
Is the power swap instant in an outage or is there a delay?
I have one question for this product (and its' future upgrades). Will it work with other EVs, or is it only compatible with GM products? Several manufacturers offer a form of powering your home using your EV or hybrid, it would make sense if they all used the same communication standard so they could be "agnostic" when it comes to the system the consumer chooses to install in their home.
You can also just plug into the 220 plug on the truck with a cable, then into a generator plug that your house should have anyway for almost no money. I looked into this system they show here it cost 7000 bucks. I think I can take the 5 minutes to manually plug in to save 7 grand.
Will bidirectional charging come to the stripped down base model 35k chevy equinox ev?
When a power outage happens, how long does charging appliances last? How much does it cost to install a special charger for an electric vehicle? How long does the battery in an electric vehicle last over the life of the vehicle?
Depends on how many appliances/electricity you're using, but with a battery this big (Silverado) you could probably power a regular U.S. 2k sqft house for a week or more, as long as you weren't using a traditional air conditioning all the time. The typical home battery backup system, including the Tesla power wall, are around 15-30 kWh. Most EVs today have at least 70 kWh, while the Silverado EV is like 200 kWh.
@@accountability2000mind you, A LOT of these same individuals that tried to use the size of the battery pack against the Silverado EV/Hummer EV because it’s _Ultium_ and they desperately needed to find faults. But after learning how useful a fully electric vehicle is with a battery pack this large I wouldn’t buy an EV with too small of a battery because i feel it would defeat the purpose of a battery electric vehicle if i can’t do these types of things.
I hope Tesla eventually offers the exporting of DC power from their vehicles through an external inverter like Chevy did with this pickup.
Good job Chevy!
Maybe he will mention it later in the video, but will it integrate with solar and wind power sources?
A $100k EV truck powering a $2M home Got it! These CZcams car channels are becoming an episode of Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous 📺
This house is at least $3.5 million to $5 million
The capability is good but frankly that would just amplify my range anxiety... If hurricane downs the area i'm not gonna use my transportation power for the house, I rather get me lawnmore sized generator for the refrigerator for 500 bucks in advance
How you gonna fill it up powers out so is gas

what is the delay before the backup power takes over? With Tesla, it is instantaneous.
God, watchin this as an electrician, wait until the customers find out how much it costs to install this 😬 there's a whole ass troft in a residential service. 4 cans, in addition to the main panel.....gonna need a big utility room 😬
So, only customers that can afford that house can afford the truck, and the system 😂
That's how the world works.
Basically.
The same customers that can afford Raptor Rs and Ram TRX that won’t help you in the event of a power outage and can’t do HALF the things this Silverado EV will do.
Do these systems work with ANY EV or are they designed to only work with the EV of the manufacturer that built it so a F150 Lightning can/cannot plug in to this system and it would work the same?
The setting of this video is perfect because only millionaires will be able to afford these 100k vehicles.
Work smarter.
@@4Whopperthis is the "let them eat cake" of white collar comments 😂
Once your house is paid off, the car payments ofva $100k vehicle should be easily affordable with an average salary. Not saying it is a smart investment, necessarily, but easily doable.
Very compelling innovation by GM. Crazy that Tesla hasn't done this. The price is reasonable for a first generation. But I look forward to the price dropping and the footprint shrinking.
All the haters in the comments are expected from this crowd solely because it’s a _Ultium_ product. Had this been the Tesla Cybertruck’s demonstration they’d be jumping up and down from the excitement of a feature like this.
For a down payment on one I can get a generator installed too..
Can your generator then get you to the office? 🤡

This is the last part of my dream. Already have 10k solar, heat pumps for cooling/heating, and 2 model y. Now we just need tesla powershare +powerwall and my no fossil home will finally be here. Hurry up tesla.
I don't thank I will. They said that my 2021 would do that. It would run a 30 watt light bub.
Transfer switch?
Didn’t the lightning do this with only the pro charger 1 box?
When the lithium batteries in the Silverado explode and catch fire, your house will burn down so there's no need for backup power.
So you are saying that in a power outage, the Silverado will keep you warm for the rest of your life?
@@Sylvan_dB Come to think of it, a lithium battery fire is never guaranteed put out.
I would like it but living in an multi level condo and not a home...it cost too much to set this system and all that hard will not fit the power room for all the unit😣😖
People don't realize how big a game changer this tech is to fix climate change. Solar panels + lifepo4 battery packs in vehicles (2000+ cycles), will drive the energy revolution away from fossil fuels, and grid scale utilities (which sometimes currently require back up systems because of load volatility)
EVs, solar panels, and heat pumps aren't sexy, but it's the most important elements of a carbon neutral future. Good on ford, gm, Tesla for doing this. This is huge, doesn't get enough press.
Cause of $$
So, is there no solar intergration yet ? Big miss . Hard pass on giving utilities the ability to take power from my battery ! Other than those 2 things like the idea.
Rich peoples toys for now. Fun to imagine being able to spend that much :)
Wow! So any of the 100 or so actual owners could do this! The GM EV strategy: talk a good game, produce a handful, and rest on your laurels!
I wonder if that 2 way use speeds up deterioration of the battery and by what factor. Its a consumable, so used as they propose it has a cost not factored here.
No shit, Maynard.
So your house has no power. That means you dont have a way to recharge your EV at home. So lets just power the home with the EV so that in a matter of hours nothing has power and now your EV is a brick at your home along with having zero power at home. I am sure these will sell like hotcakes .
Your refrigerator runs out of power. Your food rots. This is how it all starts 😂
If your power goes out when your sleeping and you left your vehicle plugged in could you potentially wake up to no power still and no vehicle to drive?
More than likely there is a configurable battery level that would disconnect the vehicle. Also, the app will no doubt alert you when the vehicle is exporting power. If you have that huge battery in the truck and you're asleep then power consumption will be low anyway. It's certainly not for everyone, but technology isn't born perfect. There is a lot more to learn about how we optimize our power needs as we journey away from carbon fuel.
When full, the battery in the Silverado can power the average US home for over a week.

That's normal a house of that size you would not try to run everything it's the essentials Heating / AC office wine cellar Irrigation Electronic Gates garage doors Security system kitchen, but a house of that size would have its own generator it's good to show exactly what the truck can do and what it's capable of

@@jimjones-pz1tt
This would be awesome for me. I'm only halfway through the video, so I haven't heard costs yet... but I'm sure it is way more than I'd ever pay. I will be buying a much cheaper used ev like a Bolt and charging my batteries off the 12v converter in a pinch. Not super efficient, but who needs to be when you're going from 12 kWh to 12+65 kWh.
I have way more solar than I use so most of it goes back to the power company... for which they graciously pay me like 10% of what I pay them if I ever draw from the grid. Seriously, I sent over a 1000 KWatt hour back to the power company one month, pulled 800kWh from them... and I had a bill for over $200. I sent them more power than I used and they still charged me $200. Ridiculous.
So as far as backfeeding the grid with my vehicle battery... the grid operator can sit on it and spin. I will not be connected at all if I have a battery that size available. No way I'd pay for the wear and tear on a battery to help the grid when they're so hell bent on screwing me, the solar user. The additional wear and tear will hardly be noticed for my personal use. I just need to keep my current batteries from running on the ragged edge, not replace what the grid does with an EV battery.
That's the reason my dad got an EV. He was only using two-thirds of his solar capacity and getting less back than the price he was paying for. Now he's driving for free.
This is why solar is a scam. Thanks for proving my point. Also silly to spend another 40k on a ev to save $100 on power…
Wow, looks kinda old school with all the separate modules. Compared to Tesla it’s just one thing the Powerwall and the inverter and the gateway all built in now. Even Powerwall 2.0 just one gateway small attached to meter. This is not looking good
Interesting tech for those that have the means... The rest of us, not so much!
You’re not going to buy a $100,000 truck to supplement the grid. This is an emergency power usage. An alternative to a generator. If you supplement the grid overnight from your truck, then you don’t have enough charge to drive your truck the next day. You can buy a stationary 200kw battery for a whole lot less.
😢Do chevy warranty the battery for home power grid supply? I can see alot of these truck battery dying because of this. It will be like the offroad trucks being void warrant because you took it offroad.
So can my generator, then I can used my gas car that won’t run out of fuel from powering my home.
Problem is battery has to get energy from somewhere?? EVs are a pipe dream! FYI I’m not a troll! But there’s no way EVs can power a home unless it has solar fossil fuel generators etc!
The thing needs more wall space than your entire house has. Say goodbye to pictures of grandma
You have to find a negative things to say? Its actually not that large. Remember, this will replace a traditional boiler, and includes solar - which gives you free energy.
Say goodbye to grandma photos, need the space to get free power.

It's much cheaper to buy a home generator
Maybe if the silverado was even close to the ice version on price this would sell like hotcakes. Also with different options like the equinox ev at 40k you could just buy two equinox EVs how is this even thought out come on chevy
That's affordable ❤
Doesn’t look like the truck fits in the garage.
that's 100k worth of electrical work in the garage, only 1% need apply
Great concept and tech, however seeing how many bugs and problems GM has had with their vehicles, I would be waiting a solid 3-5 YEARS before trusting all their electronics in my multi million dollar estate like whats in the video. That whole "a handshake happens" is extremely critical and if your GM pile decides it doesnt want to work correctly... you have no power. Not something I would count on just yet, but again great concept
I do enjoy the videos narrated by Andre however it is a bit farcical not to call out GM/Chevy for pulling the same trick TFL did with the lightning. Don't they have any innovative ideas? Been there and seen it mate bring something new for goodness sake GM. What next GM a 3-way-split tailgate, or how about a ruler or tradesman clam access ports or keypad access or drunk with a plug? Oh, wait...
It sure does take a lot of $$$$ to save power and money. That truck, permitted electrical retrofit with labor, and grid resale equipment & permissions, in total probably cost more than my 3/2 house cost me.
"ee"quinox or "eh"quinox?
GM stoled Andre’s idea!
Better install that EV charge CABLE so it does NOT SHORT OUT,... rubbing back and forth on the edge the cable management box,...
That is surprisingly cheaper then I thought
The bottom part of this comments section apparently loves hearing their brain rattle around all the empty space in their skulls from running generators. I personally don't want to budget my savings for hearing aids before i and my family turn 45, but to each their own.
Soooooo version 1 is useless. Need version 2 if you have solar and send to the grid
So it’s for millionaires. Got it.
Truly only millionaires can afford a system like this.
12k after an electrician installs it
#4/0 THHN by the truckload 😂
These solutions are pretty cool but not very robust. The GM system looks like it has a max output of 10.2 kW which is about half what a 3000 sq/ft house needs to start up AC units, stoves, etc. And while they tell you it'll power your house for "21 days", the truth is far from that. 200 kWh will power a 3000 sq/ft house for maybe 4 days if you don't conserve. Obviously more if you are conserving energy and cutting down on what you normally do. The GM solution looks pretty messy with an entire wall of crap just to support it. I say: just buy a Generac whole home gen.
Well normally in an emergency you are going to be conserving energy I suppose. But yeah the average American home uses 30 kWh per day, and anybody who can afford this will presumably be using more than average. You can look at it this way too. If you can power your house for 21 days with this as Chevy claims, that also means it takes 21 days worth of your home's electricity to charge it it one time. Not something you'd think they'd brag about, but then again most people can't seem to use basic logic these days so it's probably OK.
All these ideas and systems look good on paper but in the end it’s all about $$$$$$$$$
Yes you can finance but there we go yet more debt…..
Oh SHUT UP. Y’all actually hop in comments and pretend that EVs are supposed to be perfect and able to do ten times as much work compared to an a ICE vehicle for a fraction of the costs in their first generation. ICE trucks have been around much longer and they can’t even power a 3,000 sq.ft. home for 4 consecutive days.
Complaining that the wall unit “looks messy” is you attempting to find a fault with this available feature. Sit down.
I hope my neighbor get one. He has a built in Nat gas Generator across from my study window and every week it runs itself for 20 minutes to exercise it and makes a loud ICE racket.
Hmm... a $2000 9500watt Predator genset from Harbor Freight or a $96K truck to provide backup power to my home? Which is a better bargain?
There's a new way to feed power to the house, and you can daily drive it.
People who can afford these trucks aren't bothering with mobile gens for home backup. They'll have a nat gas Generac. How about this? A friend's parents installed solar and battery banks on their house last year. They power the house and charge their EV off of it. Using the EV as battery backup makes sense.
@@mtnman1984a single Powerwall unit is like $8k for 10kw minus install. A generator stub from a licensed electrician is like $500. So he's $2500 in to it and the battery alone is 8k. That's a hell of a lot of gas to run the generator 😂
@@scottleggejr except this "generator" runs everyday off solar and will pay for itself in six years.
@@mtnman1984 With "net metering" bullshit tax? I'm not in the business of supplementing profits to monopolies...
Neat tech, but not worth it IMO. 1. Its too expensive. 2. Most people don't lose power for days on end. So limited # of customers. 3. If you are in an area that you do lose power for days, most likely your area is not livable (fires, hurricanes, ) at the time.
In my 49 years of living in the North East, I have only lost power for more than 12 hrs only once.
Also people who do lose power often usually have back up gen’s which run on propane or natural gas so this adds nothing, cool concept but a ton of $ to set up when that same $ can be used to get a proper whole house generator that runs on gas direct from utility company’s
So many cheaper options to power a house that incurs an outage. MUCH CHEAPER.
I would power my house with a diesel geerator for much cheaper lol
Rich folks toys
Neat, but not one person will ever power their house with one.

@@G-Rated Thank you, I actually got this question last week. I got my crystal ball back in 1894 from a Celtic Druid who served as a priest.

I would sure hope it can power a house since it takes the daily energy consumption of over 6 average American houses to charge it one time.
An average house needs 10kWh per day. The battery is 215kWh did he say? That's enough to power an average house for 2 days (with 10% efficiency losses).
@@bluceree7312 Average American home power usage is about 30kWh per day per the US Energy Information Administration. That is 6.7 days for a 200kWh battery disregarding efficiency losses, which I would assume is part of the 30kWh number from the energy grid as well. The point is that it takes 6.7 days worth of power to charge fully charge this truck. The average American drives 39 miles per day. With a 450 mile range that means a full charge every 11.5 days in ideal conditions, or increasing your electricity usage by 58% for one vehicle. If you are two vehicle household you are doubling your electricity usage. Where is all that electricity going to come from if government mandates meet their goals?
@@plmn93 Aside from the figures, I really don't understand what you're trying to say. When you fill your 7 liter Cummings or Power Stroke truck with 36 gallons of diesel, this energy could also be used to power a generator to power your house for probably 2 weeks. So relying on fossils is even worse.
And don't get me started on how much energy it takes to get this diesel inside your truck. Jesus it probably crossed thousands of miles, and needed so much power to refine it before you can use it.
You can't even begin to compare when the grid is slowly getting more renewable (i.e. free) energy, which btw you could generate yourself at home if you invest in solar panels instead of acting like a luddite.
@@bluceree7312 Solar panels are not free and are not usable in all environments. The difference between ICE and EV is that the power for ICE is already available in the quantities needed. Where as the very same fanatics pushing EV mandates are also preventing us from building out the electrical infrastructure needed to support them. Windmills and solar isn't going to do it, not to mention the blight on the land both of those are starting to become. But city dwellers like to ignore that because it's not in their backyard. And they won't allow us to mine the materials needed for batteries either, at least, not anywhere near them by companies that are held to basic environmental and labor standards.
