Is Your Home Panel Ready for V2H Power?

Before installing a GM Energy V2H system, it’s important to make sure your home’s electrical panel is ready to handle two-way energy flow. Most Manteca homes with 100-amp service or older panels may need upgrades to support bi-directional charging. Vehicle-to-home power requires additional capacity, arc fault protection, and room for dedicated EV circuits—all of which need to be assessed before the charger goes in.

We begin every V2H project by thoroughly evaluating your panel’s condition, available load, and grounding setup to ensure the system runs safely and efficiently. As a licensed electrician certified by GM Energy, Tesla, and Qmerit, our owner personally manages each V2H installation from start to finish. If your panel needs an upgrade, we’ll walk you through your options clearly—no scare tactics, no upselling.

Whether you’re prepping for a PowerShift installation or future-proofing for a GM EV, we’ll make sure your panel is fully compliant with California code and built for long-term performance. When it comes to electrical panel upgrades in Manteca, Goose Electric delivers honest service you can count on.

Hear from Customers Who Called Goose

Goose electric, I highly recommend their services. Gustavo and Luis 100% PG&E was not able to restore the power to my home due to outdated stuff and safety reasons. In order to restore my services upgrades are necessary. I called Goose Electric and explained my situation. Gustavo, saw the urgency in our situation. He took our situation seriously. I have medications that need’s refrigeration and machines that need to be powered throughout the day for medical reasons. Gustavo, rushed the services in everything! Including himself, permits, and Inspections until the job was done restoring power ASAP! He quoted me on the spot with a walk through to where he would be running pipe and relocating the new panel and an idea of materials needed to do the job. I respect the man and wish him well with his business. Highly recommended. Goose Electric.

Gus and Luis installed a Tesla EV Charger and Tesla Powershare Gateway at my home. I had a 200 Amp Panel with 2 x 100 Amp Breakers that fed 2 Sub-panels. They came up with a creative way to allow the Vehicle to Home Gateway to be used to feed both Sub-panels. Professional installation, highly recommended. Great job on the entire installation!

George K.

Great communication – a pleasure to work with. Will contact again for the next project!

Forrest T.

I have used Goose Electric a few times. I highly recommend. Excellent service. Thank you!

Stefanie P

Gus did a great job installing an EV charger for my home. He came out and determined I needed a somewhat obsolete breaker due to the age of my house. He was able to have it within days and came back the next day for the installation. The installation was done cleanly and professionally. I would definitely recommend Gus and his crew.

EV Charger Installation FAQs

What Does the GM Energy V2H System Include?

The GM Energy V2H (Vehicle-to-Home) platform is a complete backup power solution that allows you to use your electric vehicle to power your home during outages or peak grid hours. The system includes:

PowerShift Bidirectional Charger: Enables charging and discharging from your EV battery
GM V2H Enablement Kit: Includes the GM Home Hub, Dark Start Battery, and Inverter
Vehicle Compatibility Software: Installed in specific GM EV models to activate V2H functionality

All components are designed to work together to ensure safe, efficient power transfer between your EV and home. Goose Electric is trained and certified to install every part of the system, following NEC code and utility coordination to ensure your setup performs exactly as intended.

Which GM Electric Vehicles Support V2H?

Not every GM EV supports vehicle-to-home energy yet, but the list is growing quickly. As of 2025, the following GM models are V2H-ready:

Chevrolet Silverado EV RST
Chevrolet Blazer EV & Equinox EV
GMC Sierra EV Denali Edition 1
Cadillac LYRIQ, ESCALADE IQ &OPTIQ

More models are expected to be added as GM rolls out updates to its Ultium platform. If you’re not sure your EV is compatible, Goose Electric will verify it before we begin any installation. Our team stays up to date on the latest from GM Energy to ensure you’re always working with the most accurate information.

How Long Can a GM EV Power a Home During an Outage?

A GM EV with a fully charged battery can typically power essential household circuits for one to three days, depending on your energy usage and vehicle capacity. For example, a Silverado EV with a 200+ kWh battery can run:

Critical loads like refrigerators, freezers, lights, and routers
HVAC systems, sump pumps, or medical devices with load management
Select whole-home applications with strategic load shedding

Goose Electric evaluates your home’s electrical usage and configures the system so your backup power is maximized without overloading. This way, your EV becomes a reliable power source, not just a car in your driveway.

Can the GM V2H Gateway Work with Solar Power?

Yes, GM’s V2H Gateway and Home Hub can be integrated with solar systems to create a hybrid power setup. This lets you:

Store excess solar energy in your EV battery during the day
Discharge clean energy back into your home during peak pricing or outages
Minimize reliance on the grid for long-term savings and energy independence

Goose Electric ensures your bidirectional charging and solar equipment work seamlessly together. If needed, we coordinate with your solar provider and verify that all hardware, breakers, and grounding paths are configured properly for both systems.

Do I Need a Permit for GM Energy V2H Installation in Manteca?

Yes, the City of Manteca requires permits for all major electrical installations, including bidirectional charger setups like GM Energy V2H. This covers:

New circuits and subpanels
Backfeed protection and inverter safety
System grounding, surge protection, and proper labeling

Goose Electric handles the full permitting process on your behalf. We submit plans, schedule inspections, and ensure your system meets all local, state, and utility requirements. Our installations are always done to California electrical code (C10 License #1087513) and backed by a two-year workmanship warranty.
