GM leads vehicle-to-home EV rollout in US home energy ecosystem
By Eve
General Motors is advancing vehicle-to-home (V2H) technology as part of a broader home energy ecosystem in the United States. The initiative allows EVs to supply power back to homes during outages or peak demand periods. GM's push positions the automaker at the forefront of bidirectional charging deployment in the residential market.
Why it matters
V2H capability creates new value propositions for EV buyers and may influence home charging infrastructure specifications and grid integration requirements. Procurement teams and CPOs should monitor how bidirectional standards evolve, as they could affect future hardware purchases and utility partnerships.

GM and PG&E launch managed charging incentive with free home chargers and monthly bill credits
Pacific Gas and Electric and GM Energy are offering PG&E customers who buy or lease a new Chevrolet, GMC or Cadillac EV a Smart Charge Bundle that includes a free GM Energy PowerShift or PowerUp 2 home charger and $15 monthly bill credits after installation. Through PG&E's EV Charge Manager program, participants can save up to an additional $50 per month by shifting charging to lower cost periods, with WeaveGrid providing grid orchestration software. The programme was announced in October 2026 in Charged EVs.
Why it matters
This utility and OEM partnership model demonstrates how managed charging programmes can be bundled with vehicle sales to drive grid friendly charging adoption. The combination of free hardware and ongoing bill credits creates a procurement template for utilities seeking to scale demand response programmes through automotive retail channels.

Wound Type Current Transformer Market Forecast to 2035 Highlights EV Charging Infrastructure as Key Growth Driver
IndexBox's latest global market report identifies wound type current transformers as entering a decade of structurally higher demand through 2035, driven by electricity system digitalization, decarbonization and decentralization. Growth will be anchored in utility smart meter rollouts, renewable energy integration, EV charging infrastructure and industrial automation. The market is bifurcating between standardized catalog parts for high volume OEMs and customized, application engineered solutions for critical infrastructure.
Why it matters
For CPOs and charging network developers, the report signals that precision current measurement components essential for revenue grade metering and power quality monitoring in EV charging stations will see sustained supply and innovation through 2035. The bifurcation between standardized and custom solutions suggests procurement teams should assess whether catalog parts meet accuracy requirements or if critical sites warrant engineered transformer specifications.
Tesla secures 90% of output from 450 MW Arizona solar farm with 1.4 GWh battery storage
ContourGlobal broke ground on 6 October for Project Sterling, a 450 MW AC solar farm paired with 360 MW and 1.4 gigawatt hours of battery storage in Mohave County, Arizona, expected online in 2028. Tesla has signed a long term power purchase agreement covering around 1 terawatt hour per year, or 90% of the project's anticipated 1.1 TWh annual output. The 2,000 acre site will use over 760,000 solar panels and more than 300 lithium iron phosphate battery containers with liquid cooling.
Why it matters
Large scale battery storage paired with solar generation demonstrates the infrastructure needed to support EV charging networks with reliable, dispatchable renewable power. Tesla's commitment to procure nearly all the output signals growing corporate appetite for long term clean energy contracts that can underpin grid stability and charging uptime.
