It looks like General Motors is looking to follow Ford's example and offer bidirectional charging capability for its electric vehicles in the United States.
GM has announced a collaboration with California's Pacific Gas and Electric Company for the latter to pilot the use of its electric vehicles as on-demand power sources for homes in PG&E's service area. The two companies say they will test vehicles with bidirectional charging technology that can help safely power the essential needs of a properly equipped home in case of emergencies or to stabilize the grid.
