V2H & GenerLink Home Backup Installation

Bidirectional Charging & V2H Systems

Vehicle-to-Home (V2H) technology transforms your EV into a mobile battery that can power your home during outages. As bidirectional charging becomes mainstream, we're ready to install the infrastructure that unlocks this capability.

V2H Platform Support

• GM Energy:
  Installation of bidirectional charging systems for compatible GM EVs, enabling whole-home or essential loads backup power using the vehicle battery.
• Ford backup-power options:
  GenerLink transfer-switch installations for compatible F-150 Lightning and F-150 PowerBoost Hybrid trucks with 240-volt Pro Power Onboard, plus Ford Intelligent Backup Power systems where compatible. We verify utility approval, vehicle configuration, and electrical requirements before recommending a system.
• Tesla Powershare:
  Preparation for Tesla Cybertruck and future Tesla vehicle bidirectional charging capability.
• Universal V2H Systems:
  Installation of bidirectional chargers compatible with multiple EV platforms.

System Components

• Bidirectional Charger:
  Installation of DC or AC coupled bidirectional charging hardware.
• Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS):
  Seamless transition between grid and vehicle power during outages.
• Home Integration System:
  Control systems that coordinate vehicle discharge with home loads and optional stationary batteries.
• Monitoring & Controls:
  User interfaces for monitoring vehicle state of charge, backup power status, and system performance.

Installation Considerations

• Electrical panel capacity and location for bidirectional equipment
• Garage electrical infrastructure and conduit routing
• Utility interconnection requirements for V2H systems
• Load prioritization and essential circuits panel design

Plan a compatible home-backup system

V2H backup and V2G export are different

Vehicle-to-home backup supplies approved home loads through compatible equipment that isolates the home from the utility during an outage. Vehicle-to-grid operation exports energy to the grid and requires separate equipment capabilities, utility authorization, and an applicable program or tariff. A V2H installation does not automatically qualify for V2G participation or energy payments.

What we need to evaluate compatibility

Provide your vehicle make, model, year, relevant equipment configuration, utility, property address, and existing solar, battery, or generator information. We also need to understand which loads you want to back up. Manufacturer requirements, software support, utility rules, and electrical conditions must be checked for the proposed system.

How long can an EV power a home?

Runtime depends on usable battery energy, starting state of charge, reserve settings, conversion losses, and the loads being supplied. Available output also limits which appliances can operate at the same time. Essential-load planning is different from whole-home backup; neither should be promised a fixed runtime without a project-specific assessment.

What affects installation scope?

Equipment location, conduit routes, service configuration, required isolation or transfer equipment, permits, and integration with existing energy systems all affect the work. Review our service areas and credentials, or compare stationary battery storage with your vehicle-based backup goals.
