Yes — many newer electric vehicles support vehicle-to-home (V2H) bidirectional charging, letting you use the EV’s battery as backup power for your home during outages. This requires a compatible vehicle (Ford F-150 Lightning, GM Ultium platform, some Hyundai/Kia, Nissan Leaf), a bidirectional charger, and a transfer switch or smart panel — all of which a licensed electrician installs.
What it takes
- Compatible EV (V2H or V2L capable)
- Bidirectional charger (not all EV chargers support this)
- Transfer switch or smart panel
- Manufacturer-approved electrical setup
- Permit and inspection
We install bidirectional EV systems through our EV charging service, alongside backup power integration.
