GM Energy and WeaveGrid Advance Grid-Integrated EV Charging and Home Energy Programs

WeaveGrid, a grid-edge orchestration software company focused on helping utilities manage transportation electrification, has announced a collaboration with GM Energy to expand access to utility programs for electric vehicle owners across the United States. The initiative supports General Motors’ growing vehicle-to-grid (V2G) strategy and is designed to enable eligible Chevrolet, GMC, and Cadillac EV drivers to participate in programs that help improve grid reliability while potentially lowering energy costs.

The collaboration connects GM Energy’s home energy technologies with WeaveGrid’s utility platform, creating new opportunities for EVs to serve as flexible grid resources. Through WeaveGrid’s software, eligible owners of bidirectional-capable GM electric vehicles, combined with GM Energy vehicle-to-home (V2H) systems and the appropriate utility interconnection, can enroll in participating utility programs where available.

More than 250,000 bidirectional-capable GM EVs are already on the road. These vehicles can work with the GM Energy V2H Bundle, which allows stored energy in the vehicle battery to power a home during outages or periods of high electricity demand. GM’s broader Home System can also incorporate the GM Energy PowerBank, a stationary battery storage solution that provides additional energy management capabilities for homeowners.

The partnership is intended to support a wide range of grid services beyond basic EV charging. Utilities can use the combined platform to manage charging schedules, coordinate distributed energy resources, and eventually support bidirectional power flows between vehicles, homes, and the electric grid. These capabilities are enabled through WeaveGrid’s Distribution-Integrated System Capacity Orchestration (DISCO) platform, which is designed to help utilities better utilize existing infrastructure while accommodating growing electricity demand.

For utility companies, the collaboration simplifies the process of integrating GM vehicles and GM Energy resources into customer programs that shift electricity demand away from peak periods, improve reliability, and increase overall grid efficiency. For customers, participation can unlock utility incentives and create new ways to use EVs and home energy systems to support the grid while maximizing the value of their energy assets.

Founded on the belief that transportation electrification depends on closer coordination between the automotive and utility sectors, WeaveGrid has developed software that helps utilities manage rapid load growth without overbuilding grid infrastructure. The company takes a grid-first approach to electrification, focusing on affordability, reliability, customer experience, and efficient grid utilization.

WeaveGrid was co-founded by CEO Apoorv Bhargava, whose background includes climate and energy innovation roles at Opower and NRG, and President John Taggart, a recognized EV expert who previously worked at Tesla’s Office of the CTO and Special Projects as well as Nissan’s Futures Lab. Backed by investors including Activate Capital, Breakthrough Energy, Coatue, Emerson Collective, Grok Ventures, Salesforce Ventures, and The Westly Group, WeaveGrid continues to work with utilities, automakers, and energy providers to transform electric vehicles and other distributed energy resources into valuable tools for a more flexible and resilient electric grid.
