EnergyHub, a provider of grid-edge flexibility systems, has partnered with GM Energy, a business unit of General Motors, to integrate GM’s EV and home energy storage systems into EnergyHub’s network of utility and market programs across the US.

The collaboration will allow eligible owners of Chevrolet, GMC and Cadillac EVs, or GM Energy’s PowerBank stationary storage system, to participate in EnergyHub-managed utility programs. Customers can earn financial incentives while helping to enhance grid reliability and reduce energy costs.

Starting later this year, Chevrolet, GMC, and Cadillac EV owners will be able to enroll in select EnergyHub programs through their local utility.

The partnership will enable smart or managed charging functionality, optimizing charging schedules to support bulk and distribution grid stability while maintaining customer preferences. The GM Energy PowerBank home battery system, launched in 2024, will be available to support customers’ backup power needs as well as the grid during peak times.

EnergyHub’s managed EV charging programs, delivered through its Edge Distributed Energy Resource Management System (DERMS) platform, help utilities maintain grid stability through demand response and dynamic load shaping. This enables peak demand management and aids efforts to ensure EVs and other DERs do not overload local distribution infrastructure.

“Our partnership with GM is a significant step forward in expanding the reach and impact of our utility clients’ EV and stationary storage programs,” said Jeff Huron, Senior Manager, EV Strategy and Business Development at EnergyHub. “Direct integrations with automakers like GM allow us to create the best possible experience for customers while ensuring utilities are prepared for the increasing demand from electric vehicles and distributed energy resources.”
