We have a couple of Model Ys and a nat gas generator. I live in the foothills west of Denver and we have a lot of power outages and I'm on well water. That means I lose water when I lose power. Not good. My nat gas gen has saved my bacon often. It can carry the whole load of the house including doing 120 volt charging of one of our Teslas, gaining about 25% battery in 20 hrs. I really don't want to use my car battery to power my house, but I probably will get some power walls when it's time to replace my generator.
Again, I’ll never understand the anti-EV trolls and hate-train who sprints to every new EV review or video thumbnail they see posted because they can’t help themselves but to try discouraging others from being interested in the products. Weird.
I think the hate came from the governments mandate to make cars only EV. People just don't like being told what to buy or do. If the government leave it alone, there wouldn't be so much hate. I don't care too much about EV but the home power solar sector is very nice.

Depends on how many appliances/electricity you're using, but with a battery this big (Silverado) you could probably power a regular U.S. 2k sqft house for a week or more, as long as you weren't using a traditional air conditioning all the time.

Once your house is paid off, the car payments ofva $100k vehicle should be easily affordable with an average salary. Not saying it is a smart investment, necessarily, but easily doable.
The same customers that can afford Raptor Rs and Ram TRX that won’t help you in the event of a power outage and can’t do HALF the things this Silverado EV will do.
So, is there no solar intergration yet ? Big miss . Hard pass on giving utilities the ability to take power from my battery ! Other than those 2 things like the idea.
People who can afford these trucks aren't bothering with mobile gens for home backup. They'll have a nat gas Generac. How about this? A friend's parents installed solar and battery banks on their house last year. They power the house and charge their EV off of it. Using the EV as battery backup makes sense.
@@mtnman1984a single Powerwall unit is like $8k for 10kw minus install. A generator stub from a licensed electrician is like $500. So he's $2500 in to it and the battery alone is 8k. That's a hell of a lot of gas to run the generator 😂
You have to find a negative things to say? Its actually not that large. Remember, this will replace a traditional boiler, and includes solar - which gives you free energy. Say goodbye to grandma photos, need the space to get free power.
😢Do chevy warranty the battery for home power grid supply? I can see alot of these truck battery dying because of this. It will be like the offroad trucks being void warrant because you took it offroad.
That's normal a house of that size you would not try to run everything it's the essentials Heating / AC office wine cellar Irrigation Electronic Gates garage doors Security system kitchen, but a house of that size would have its own generator it's good to show exactly what the truck can do and what it's capable of
It sure does take a lot of $$$$ to save power and money. That truck, permitted electrical retrofit with labor, and grid resale equipment & permissions, in total probably cost more than my 3/2 house cost me.
You’re not going to buy a $100,000 truck to supplement the grid. This is an emergency power usage. An alternative to a generator. If you supplement the grid overnight from your truck, then you don’t have enough charge to drive your truck the next day. You can buy a stationary 200kw battery for a whole lot less.
This would be awesome for me. I'm only halfway through the video, so I haven't heard costs yet... but I'm sure it is way more than I'd ever pay. I will be buying a much cheaper used ev like a Bolt and charging my batteries off the 12v converter in a pinch. Not super efficient, but who needs to be when you're going from 12 kWh to 12+65 kWh. I have way more solar than I use so most of it goes back to the power company... for which they graciously pay me like 10% of what I pay them if I ever draw from the grid. Seriously, I sent over a 1000 KWatt hour back to the power company one month, pulled 800kWh from them... and I had a bill for over $200. I sent them more power than I used and they still charged me $200. Ridiculous. So as far as backfeeding the grid with my vehicle battery... the grid operator can sit on it and spin. I will not be connected at all if I have a battery that size available. No way I'd pay for the wear and tear on a battery to help the grid when they're so hell bent on screwing me, the solar user. The additional wear and tear will hardly be noticed for my personal use. I just need to keep my current batteries from running on the ragged edge, not replace what the grid does with an EV battery.
That's the reason my dad got an EV. He was only using two-thirds of his solar capacity and getting less back than the price he was paying for. Now he's driving for free.
If your power goes out when your sleeping and you left your vehicle plugged in could you potentially wake up to no power still and no vehicle to drive?
More than likely there is a configurable battery level that would disconnect the vehicle. Also, the app will no doubt alert you when the vehicle is exporting power. If you have that huge battery in the truck and you're asleep then power consumption will be low anyway. It's certainly not for everyone, but technology isn't born perfect. There is a lot more to learn about how we optimize our power needs as we journey away from carbon fuel.
Wow, looks kinda old school with all the separate modules. Compared to Tesla it’s just one thing the Powerwall and the inverter and the gateway all built in now. Even Powerwall 2.0 just one gateway small attached to meter. This is not looking good
These solutions are pretty cool but not very robust. The GM system looks like it has a max output of 10.2 kW which is about half what a 3000 sq/ft house needs to start up AC units, stoves, etc. And while they tell you it'll power your house for "21 days", the truth is far from that. 200 kWh will power a 3000 sq/ft house for maybe 4 days if you don't conserve. Obviously more if you are conserving energy and cutting down on what you normally do. The GM solution looks pretty messy with an entire wall of crap just to support it. I say: just buy a Generac whole home gen.
Well normally in an emergency you are going to be conserving energy I suppose. But yeah the average American home uses 30 kWh per day, and anybody who can afford this will presumably be using more than average. You can look at it this way too. If you can power your house for 21 days with this as Chevy claims, that also means it takes 21 days worth of your home's electricity to charge it it one time. Not something you'd think they'd brag about, but then again most people can't seem to use basic logic these days so it's probably OK.
Oh SHUT UP. Y’all actually hop in comments and pretend that EVs are supposed to be perfect and able to do ten times as much work compared to an a ICE vehicle for a fraction of the costs in their first generation. ICE trucks have been around much longer and they can’t even power a 3,000 sq.ft. home for 4 consecutive days. Complaining that the wall unit “looks messy” is you attempting to find a fault with this available feature. Sit down.
I hope my neighbor get one. He has a built in Nat gas Generator across from my study window and every week it runs itself for 20 minutes to exercise it and makes a loud ICE racket.
So the car battery which is capable of sending 200+ kilowatts to the motors is somehow going to be fried by ***Checks notes*** powering a home that on average uses 29-34 kWh per DAY? Do people even think before they comment or are people so stupid that prior thought just doesn’t happen anymore?
The bottom part of this comments section apparently loves hearing their brain rattle around all the empty space in their skulls from running generators. I personally don't want to budget my savings for hearing aids before i and my family turn 45, but to each their own.
Maybe if the silverado was even close to the ice version on price this would sell like hotcakes. Also with different options like the equinox ev at 40k you could just buy two equinox EVs how is this even thought out come on chevy

WHY NOT?? How on earth are you able to speak so comfortably for everyone who purchases a Silverado EV? Where did you purchase your crystal ball 🔮, Matt? 🙄
@@G-Rated Thank you, I actually got this question last week. I got my crystal ball back in 1894 from a Celtic Druid who served as a priest. I know nobody will use them to power a house because anyone driving a $100k EV will be in such a living condition that they will have sustainable power options such as uninterrupted power supplies and/or solar backup, and Epstein Didn't Kill Himself.
People in remote areas will they get a lot of snow or after inclimate weather like a hurricane and the power is out you can power you’re house from you’re truck if you don’t have a generator
Neat tech, but not worth it IMO. 1. Its too expensive. 2. Most people don't lose power for days on end. So limited # of customers. 3. If you are in an area that you do lose power for days, most likely your area is not livable (fires, hurricanes, ) at the time. In my 49 years of living in the North East, I have only lost power for more than 12 hrs only once.
Also people who do lose power often usually have back up gen’s which run on propane or natural gas so this adds nothing, cool concept but a ton of $ to set up when that same $ can be used to get a proper whole house generator that runs on gas direct from utility company’s
An average house needs 10kWh per day. The battery is 215kWh did he say? That's enough to power an average house for 2 days (with 10% efficiency losses).
@@bluceree7312 Average American home power usage is about 30kWh per day per the US Energy Information Administration. That is 6.7 days for a 200kWh battery disregarding efficiency losses, which I would assume is part of the 30kWh number from the energy grid as well. The point is that it takes 6.7 days worth of power to charge fully charge this truck. The average American drives 39 miles per day. With a 450 mile range that means a full charge every 11.5 days in ideal conditions, or increasing your electricity usage by 58% for one vehicle. If you are two vehicle household you are doubling your electricity usage. Where is all that electricity going to come from if government mandates meet their goals?
@@plmn93 Aside from the figures, I really don't understand what you're trying to say. When you fill your 7 liter Cummings or Power Stroke truck with 36 gallons of diesel, this energy could also be used to power a generator to power your house for probably 2 weeks. So relying on fossils is even worse.
And don't get me started on how much energy it takes to get this diesel inside your truck. Jesus it probably crossed thousands of miles, and needed so much power to refine it before you can use it. You can't even begin to compare when the grid is slowly getting more renewable (i.e. free) energy, which btw you could generate yourself at home if you invest in solar panels instead of acting like a luddite.
@@bluceree7312 Solar panels are not free and are not usable in all environments. The difference between ICE and EV is that the power for ICE is already available in the quantities needed. Where as the very same fanatics pushing EV mandates are also preventing us from building out the electrical infrastructure needed to support them. Windmills and solar isn't going to do it, not to mention the blight on the land both of those are starting to become. But city dwellers like to ignore that because it's not in their backyard. And they won't allow us to mine the materials needed for batteries either, at least, not anywhere near them by companies that are held to basic environmental and labor standards.
So your house has no power. That means you dont have a way to recharge your EV at home. So lets just power the home with the EV so that in a matter of hours nothing has power and now your EV is a brick at your home along with having zero power at home. I am sure these will sell like hotcakes .
Problem is battery has to get energy from somewhere?? EVs are a pipe dream! FYI I’m not a troll! But there’s no way EVs can power a home unless it has solar fossil fuel generators etc!
This is exactly why i dont understand why tesla never did this first. The car is worth its weight in gold, literally. You can be at any point on earth with a couple of solar panels and a mobile battery pack.

Less than I expected but I have a suspicion that the installation will cost a lot considering what will be necessary send power to only some circuits.
This the house of average Silverado EV buyer.
Yes with an HOA so you can't park a trailer or boat or camper or car hauler or construction/landscaper trailer 😂
I would like it but living in an multi level condo and not a home...it cost too much to set this system and all that hard will not fit the power room for all the unit😣😖
The setting of this video is perfect because only millionaires will be able to afford these 100k vehicles.
Work smarter.
@@4Whopperthis is the "let them eat cake" of white collar comments 😂
Once your house is paid off, the car payments ofva $100k vehicle should be easily affordable with an average salary. Not saying it is a smart investment, necessarily, but easily doable.
I don't thank I will. They said that my 2021 would do that. It would run a 30 watt light bub.
So, only customers that can afford that house can afford the truck, and the system 😂
That's how the world works.
Basically.
The same customers that can afford Raptor Rs and Ram TRX that won’t help you in the event of a power outage and can’t do HALF the things this Silverado EV will do.
So, is there no solar intergration yet ? Big miss . Hard pass on giving utilities the ability to take power from my battery ! Other than those 2 things like the idea.
Hmm... a $2000 9500watt Predator genset from Harbor Freight or a $96K truck to provide backup power to my home? Which is a better bargain?
There's a new way to feed power to the house, and you can daily drive it.
People who can afford these trucks aren't bothering with mobile gens for home backup. They'll have a nat gas Generac. How about this? A friend's parents installed solar and battery banks on their house last year. They power the house and charge their EV off of it. Using the EV as battery backup makes sense.
@@mtnman1984a single Powerwall unit is like $8k for 10kw minus install. A generator stub from a licensed electrician is like $500. So he's $2500 in to it and the battery alone is 8k. That's a hell of a lot of gas to run the generator 😂
@@scottleggejr except this "generator" runs everyday off solar and will pay for itself in six years.
@@mtnman1984 With "net metering" bullshit tax? I'm not in the business of supplementing profits to monopolies...

The thing needs more wall space than your entire house has. Say goodbye to pictures of grandma
You have to find a negative things to say? Its actually not that large. Remember, this will replace a traditional boiler, and includes solar - which gives you free energy.
Say goodbye to grandma photos, need the space to get free power.

Better install that EV charge CABLE so it does NOT SHORT OUT,... rubbing back and forth on the edge the cable management box,...
😢Do chevy warranty the battery for home power grid supply? I can see alot of these truck battery dying because of this. It will be like the offroad trucks being void warrant because you took it offroad.
That's normal a house of that size you would not try to run everything it's the essentials Heating / AC office wine cellar Irrigation Electronic Gates garage doors Security system kitchen, but a house of that size would have its own generator it's good to show exactly what the truck can do and what it's capable of
@@jimjones-pz1tt
It sure does take a lot of $$$$ to save power and money. That truck, permitted electrical retrofit with labor, and grid resale equipment & permissions, in total probably cost more than my 3/2 house cost me.
You’re not going to buy a $100,000 truck to supplement the grid. This is an emergency power usage. An alternative to a generator. If you supplement the grid overnight from your truck, then you don’t have enough charge to drive your truck the next day. You can buy a stationary 200kw battery for a whole lot less.
Wow! So any of the 100 or so actual owners could do this! The GM EV strategy: talk a good game, produce a handful, and rest on your laurels!
This would be awesome for me. I'm only halfway through the video, so I haven't heard costs yet... but I'm sure it is way more than I'd ever pay. I will be buying a much cheaper used ev like a Bolt and charging my batteries off the 12v converter in a pinch. Not super efficient, but who needs to be when you're going from 12 kWh to 12+65 kWh.
I have way more solar than I use so most of it goes back to the power company... for which they graciously pay me like 10% of what I pay them if I ever draw from the grid. Seriously, I sent over a 1000 KWatt hour back to the power company one month, pulled 800kWh from them... and I had a bill for over $200. I sent them more power than I used and they still charged me $200. Ridiculous.
So as far as backfeeding the grid with my vehicle battery... the grid operator can sit on it and spin. I will not be connected at all if I have a battery that size available. No way I'd pay for the wear and tear on a battery to help the grid when they're so hell bent on screwing me, the solar user. The additional wear and tear will hardly be noticed for my personal use. I just need to keep my current batteries from running on the ragged edge, not replace what the grid does with an EV battery.
That's the reason my dad got an EV. He was only using two-thirds of his solar capacity and getting less back than the price he was paying for. Now he's driving for free.
This is why solar is a scam. Thanks for proving my point. Also silly to spend another 40k on a ev to save $100 on power…
If your power goes out when your sleeping and you left your vehicle plugged in could you potentially wake up to no power still and no vehicle to drive?
More than likely there is a configurable battery level that would disconnect the vehicle. Also, the app will no doubt alert you when the vehicle is exporting power. If you have that huge battery in the truck and you're asleep then power consumption will be low anyway. It's certainly not for everyone, but technology isn't born perfect. There is a lot more to learn about how we optimize our power needs as we journey away from carbon fuel.
When full, the battery in the Silverado can power the average US home for over a week.
@@bahamatoddahh yes that home 100% represents "the average American home" 😂
@@scottleggejrYou can put this system in a smaller home.
Long way to go price feasibility
Or, you’ve just failed to comprehend the concept of *trim levels.* 🤷🏽♂️
Rich peoples toys for now. Fun to imagine being able to spend that much :)
Wow, looks kinda old school with all the separate modules. Compared to Tesla it’s just one thing the Powerwall and the inverter and the gateway all built in now. Even Powerwall 2.0 just one gateway small attached to meter. This is not looking good
Interesting tech for those that have the means... The rest of us, not so much!
For 7200 I can just buy a natural gas generator and keep my normal gas truck
These solutions are pretty cool but not very robust. The GM system looks like it has a max output of 10.2 kW which is about half what a 3000 sq/ft house needs to start up AC units, stoves, etc. And while they tell you it'll power your house for "21 days", the truth is far from that. 200 kWh will power a 3000 sq/ft house for maybe 4 days if you don't conserve. Obviously more if you are conserving energy and cutting down on what you normally do. The GM solution looks pretty messy with an entire wall of crap just to support it. I say: just buy a Generac whole home gen.
Well normally in an emergency you are going to be conserving energy I suppose. But yeah the average American home uses 30 kWh per day, and anybody who can afford this will presumably be using more than average. You can look at it this way too. If you can power your house for 21 days with this as Chevy claims, that also means it takes 21 days worth of your home's electricity to charge it it one time. Not something you'd think they'd brag about, but then again most people can't seem to use basic logic these days so it's probably OK.
All these ideas and systems look good on paper but in the end it’s all about $$$$$$$$$
Yes you can finance but there we go yet more debt…..
Oh SHUT UP. Y’all actually hop in comments and pretend that EVs are supposed to be perfect and able to do ten times as much work compared to an a ICE vehicle for a fraction of the costs in their first generation. ICE trucks have been around much longer and they can’t even power a 3,000 sq.ft. home for 4 consecutive days.
Complaining that the wall unit “looks messy” is you attempting to find a fault with this available feature. Sit down.
So it’s for millionaires. Got it.
Truly only millionaires can afford a system like this.
I hope my neighbor get one. He has a built in Nat gas Generator across from my study window and every week it runs itself for 20 minutes to exercise it and makes a loud ICE racket.
12k after an electrician installs it
#4/0 THHN by the truckload 😂
That fan is cooling the batteries that are currently getting fried....
So the car battery which is capable of sending 200+ kilowatts to the motors is somehow going to be fried by ***Checks notes*** powering a home that on average uses 29-34 kWh per DAY? Do people even think before they comment or are people so stupid that prior thought just doesn’t happen anymore?
Buy fix rate power!
that's 100k worth of electrical work in the garage, only 1% need apply
So can my generator, then I can used my gas car that won’t run out of fuel from powering my home.
The bottom part of this comments section apparently loves hearing their brain rattle around all the empty space in their skulls from running generators. I personally don't want to budget my savings for hearing aids before i and my family turn 45, but to each their own.
Maybe if the silverado was even close to the ice version on price this would sell like hotcakes. Also with different options like the equinox ev at 40k you could just buy two equinox EVs how is this even thought out come on chevy
I do enjoy the videos narrated by Andre however it is a bit farcical not to call out GM/Chevy for pulling the same trick TFL did with the lightning. Don't they have any innovative ideas? Been there and seen it mate bring something new for goodness sake GM. What next GM a 3-way-split tailgate, or how about a ruler or tradesman clam access ports or keypad access or drunk with a plug? Oh, wait...
It's much cheaper to buy a home generator
That's affordable ❤
Neat, but not one person will ever power their house with one.
Not in this economy!
WHY NOT?? How on earth are you able to speak so comfortably for everyone who purchases a Silverado EV? Where did you purchase your crystal ball 🔮, Matt? 🙄
@@G-Rated Thank you, I actually got this question last week. I got my crystal ball back in 1894 from a Celtic Druid who served as a priest. I know nobody will use them to power a house because anyone driving a $100k EV will be in such a living condition that they will have sustainable power options such as uninterrupted power supplies and/or solar backup, and Epstein Didn't Kill Himself.
People in remote areas will they get a lot of snow or after inclimate weather like a hurricane and the power is out you can power you’re house from you’re truck if you don’t have a generator
GM stoled Andre’s idea!
Doesn’t look like the truck fits in the garage.
Is being able to power your house with your car,
an important feature to ppl?
According to tesla 10 years ago... apparently gm hasn't been paying attention
No
@@macbook802 😆
That is surprisingly cheaper then I thought
Soooooo version 1 is useless. Need version 2 if you have solar and send to the grid
Neat tech, but not worth it IMO. 1. Its too expensive. 2. Most people don't lose power for days on end. So limited # of customers. 3. If you are in an area that you do lose power for days, most likely your area is not livable (fires, hurricanes, ) at the time.
In my 49 years of living in the North East, I have only lost power for more than 12 hrs only once.
Also people who do lose power often usually have back up gen’s which run on propane or natural gas so this adds nothing, cool concept but a ton of $ to set up when that same $ can be used to get a proper whole house generator that runs on gas direct from utility company’s
"ee"quinox or "eh"quinox?
I would sure hope it can power a house since it takes the daily energy consumption of over 6 average American houses to charge it one time.
An average house needs 10kWh per day. The battery is 215kWh did he say? That's enough to power an average house for 2 days (with 10% efficiency losses).
@@bluceree7312 Average American home power usage is about 30kWh per day per the US Energy Information Administration. That is 6.7 days for a 200kWh battery disregarding efficiency losses, which I would assume is part of the 30kWh number from the energy grid as well. The point is that it takes 6.7 days worth of power to charge fully charge this truck. The average American drives 39 miles per day. With a 450 mile range that means a full charge every 11.5 days in ideal conditions, or increasing your electricity usage by 58% for one vehicle. If you are two vehicle household you are doubling your electricity usage. Where is all that electricity going to come from if government mandates meet their goals?
@@plmn93 Aside from the figures, I really don't understand what you're trying to say. When you fill your 7 liter Cummings or Power Stroke truck with 36 gallons of diesel, this energy could also be used to power a generator to power your house for probably 2 weeks. So relying on fossils is even worse.
And don't get me started on how much energy it takes to get this diesel inside your truck. Jesus it probably crossed thousands of miles, and needed so much power to refine it before you can use it.
You can't even begin to compare when the grid is slowly getting more renewable (i.e. free) energy, which btw you could generate yourself at home if you invest in solar panels instead of acting like a luddite.
@@bluceree7312 Solar panels are not free and are not usable in all environments. The difference between ICE and EV is that the power for ICE is already available in the quantities needed. Where as the very same fanatics pushing EV mandates are also preventing us from building out the electrical infrastructure needed to support them. Windmills and solar isn't going to do it, not to mention the blight on the land both of those are starting to become. But city dwellers like to ignore that because it's not in their backyard. And they won't allow us to mine the materials needed for batteries either, at least, not anywhere near them by companies that are held to basic environmental and labor standards.
I would power my house with a diesel geerator for much cheaper lol
Rich folks toys
So your house has no power. That means you dont have a way to recharge your EV at home. So lets just power the home with the EV so that in a matter of hours nothing has power and now your EV is a brick at your home along with having zero power at home. I am sure these will sell like hotcakes .
Your refrigerator runs out of power. Your food rots. This is how it all starts 😂
Come with me and you'll be. In a world of pure imagination 😐
So many cheaper options to power a house that incurs an outage. MUCH CHEAPER.
funny how your skeptical when Tesla does things, but you kiss GM and Ford’s ass when they don’t even have products shipping yet.
Bring back avalanche

Not only power your house. But you can burn it down to. 😂
Great party truck but still not worth 100k.
You can power your house with your new appliance! (you know they make cheaper ways of doing this right..?)
Alright. KAZAAM. Now the truck can't power your house. Cool?
Cheaper yes, cooler, no.
@@TheMadmax0609we all know you gotta pay the cool tax on everything 😎
Problem is battery has to get energy from somewhere?? EVs are a pipe dream! FYI I’m not a troll! But there’s no way EVs can power a home unless it has solar fossil fuel generators etc!
Take a drink every time the salesmen says “for the first time ever” while explaining the stuff Ford has been doing for years.
Loose loose… now your 100K truck battery degrades even faster….
This is exactly why i dont understand why tesla never did this first. The car is worth its weight in gold, literally. You can be at any point on earth with a couple of solar panels and a mobile battery pack.
You can with cyber truck they need power share for there other vehicles tho
