Every EV sold in the US that can power your home — all 15 of them — the hardware each one needs, and the 10 EVs that are V2L-only (outlets, not house power). Grounded in the same verified dataset as our full V2H & V2G guide.
Vehicle data verified 2026-06-14 against manufacturer sources
These vehicles can feed your home's electrical panel during an outage, with the right certified hardware professionally installed:
First high-volume US EV with integrated V2H (up to 9.6 kW). Important 2026 update: Ford has discontinued the Charge Station Pro and Home Integration System and is winding down Lightning production, so the factory V2H hardware is no longer sold. Existing owners keep the capability; Ford now points new setups toward third-party paths (e.g. GenerLink) as J3400/NACS-based gear arrives.
V2H came via software update but relied on the same Ford hardware stack as the F-150 Lightning — which Ford has now discontinued. No factory V2H hardware is sold for it today; existing owners retain the capability.
GM Energy claims the Silverado EV can power a home for ~21 days. GM Energy V2H Bundle is $7,299 before install.
Ultium platform enables V2H as GM Energy continues rollout across the lineup.
Same Ultium platform as Blazer EV; same GM Energy hardware stack.
V2H enabled as part of the GM Energy rollout across Ultium vehicles.
Shares platform and capability profile with Silverado EV.
Largest battery pack in the GM lineup (up to 212 kWh); longest theoretical home-backup duration.
First Tesla with full bidirectional capability. Powershare Grid Support launched Feb 2026 in CenterPoint Energy and Oncor service areas (Houston + Dallas). On April 20, 2026 PG&E approved Cybertruck + Powershare Gateway + Universal Wall Connector for its California residential V2X program — the first AC V2G approval in California. Hardware $1,990; install $2,000–$4,000.
First Hyundai Motor Group vehicle with certified V2H in the US. Wallbox Quasar 2 is the only certified home charger; Quasar 2 / EV9 V2H is confirmed available in 7 states (CA, FL, IL, NJ, NY, TX, WA) with a nationwide rollout to follow. California buyers may offset some hardware cost through state incentives, though SGIP residential funds were fully reserved (waitlist) as of March 2026 and DCAP charger support (~$2,000) is income-qualified.
Volvo partnered with dcbel for the Ara Home Energy Station. Nationwide availability. CA incentives can offset cost, but SGIP residential funds were fully reserved (waitlist) as of March 2026 and DCAP (~$2,000 charger support) is income-qualified — the headline 'up to $13,800' figure is not broadly available.
First Polestar with bidirectional offering. Only 400V 2024–2025 cars are compatible — the 2026 Polestar 3 moves to an 800V architecture and compatibility is being re-validated.
Refreshed 2026 Outlander PHEV arrives US dealers May 2026 with continued bidirectional support. CHAdeMO-based, which constrains US charger options (Fermata or dcbel).
Technically the OG bidirectional EV (Japan's V2H pioneer via CHAdeMO), but Fermata has not offered residential units in the US since 2023. Leaf owners wanting V2H should look at dcbel Ara, which supports CHAdeMO.
Rivian's ~$45,000 mid-size SUV is the brand's first EV with V2H built in — up to 11 kW AC bidirectional — and ships with a native NACS port. Launch (Performance) deliveries began Spring 2026.
These EVs can run appliances, tools, and camp gear from onboard outlets, but cannot power your home — there's no certified V2H path for them yet:
| EV | V2L output | V2H status |
|---|---|---|
| Tesla Model Y Performance | 3.6 kW | Hardware is bidirectional-capable, but V2H is not enabled in software as of June 2026 |
| Kia EV6 | 1.9 kW | Coming soon — HMG has announced V2H for EV6 following Ioniq 9 rollout |
| Kia EV3 | 1.9 kW | V2L is standard; no V2H timeline announced for the EV3. |
| Hyundai Ioniq 9 | 1.9 kW | Coming soon — first HMG vehicle after EV9 to get V2H in the US |
| Hyundai Ioniq 5 | 1.9 kW | No official V2H support in US as of June 2026 |
| Hyundai Ioniq 6 | 1.9 kW | V2L adapter is optional accessory. V2H not announced. |
| Genesis GV60 | 1.9 kW | Shares E-GMP platform with Ioniq 5 and EV6; same V2L capability but no V2H activation announced. |
| Genesis Electrified GV70 | 1.9 kW | V2L onboard. V2H unlikely before HMG completes its broader platform rollout. |
| Rivian R1T | 1.4 kW | Rivian has announced a 24 kW DC bidirectional home charger for Gen 1 & Gen 2 R1T/R1S, but it is not yet shipping |
| Lucid Gravity | 19.2 kW | No certified bidirectional charger partnership yet, but hardware supports it |
Volkswagen ID.4 · Volkswagen ID. Buzz · BMW iX3 · Mercedes-Benz EQS · Rivian R1S · Lucid Air · Chevrolet Bolt EV
These EVs offer neither V2L outlets nor V2H home-power capability as of 2026-06-14.
15 EVs sold in the US support vehicle-to-home power as of mid-2026: Ford F-150 Lightning, Ford Mustang Mach-E, Chevrolet Silverado EV, Chevrolet Blazer EV, Chevrolet Equinox EV, Cadillac Lyriq, GMC Sierra EV, GMC Hummer EV, Tesla Cybertruck, Kia EV9, Volvo EX90, Polestar Polestar 3, Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, Nissan Leaf, Rivian R2. Each requires a certified bidirectional charger or gateway — GM Energy V2H Bundle for GM EVs, Tesla Universal Wall Connector + Powershare Gateway for the Cybertruck, Wallbox Quasar 2 for the Kia EV9, dcbel Ara for the Volvo EX90 and Polestar 3, and Ford Charge Station Pro + Sunrun Home Integration System for the F-150 Lightning (no longer sold new; existing owners keep the capability).
No. The Kia EV3 supports V2L only — a 1.9 kW outlet that can run appliances, tools, or camping gear, but cannot feed your home's electrical panel. Kia has not announced a V2H timeline for the EV3; within Hyundai Motor Group, V2H is live on the Kia EV9 (via Wallbox Quasar 2) with the Hyundai Ioniq 9 confirmed next.
Not yet. The Ioniq 9 ships with 1.9 kW V2L today, and Hyundai has confirmed it will receive V2H support via the Wallbox Quasar 2 — the same certified charger the Kia EV9 uses — ahead of the Kia EV6's rollout. Until that activation lands, the Ioniq 9 cannot power a home.
No. As of mid-2026, only the Cybertruck supports Tesla Powershare V2H. The 2026 Model Y Performance added V2L (3.6 kW via cabin and cargo outlets), and its hardware is bidirectional-capable, but Tesla has not enabled V2H in software and has not committed to a date.
No Lucid supports V2H as of mid-2026. The Lucid Gravity offers V2L for powering devices; the Lucid Air has no bidirectional capability. Lucid has discussed future bidirectional plans but has no certified V2H hardware path today.
The EX90 supports V2H today — it launched vehicle-to-home capability in November 2025 with the dcbel Ara Home Energy Station, available nationwide. Full V2G (exporting to the grid for utility compensation) exists in the hardware but is pending utility program rollouts.
V2L (vehicle-to-load) powers devices plugged into the car's own outlets — typically 1.9-11.5 kW for tools, appliances, or camping. V2H (vehicle-to-home) feeds your home's electrical panel through a certified bidirectional charger and transfer switch, so the whole house (or critical circuits) runs off the car during an outage. V2L needs no installation; V2H requires professionally-installed hardware, typically $4,000-$10,000 all-in.
A certified bidirectional charger or gateway plus a transfer switch, professionally installed: GM Energy V2H Bundle (Silverado/Blazer/Equinox EV, Lyriq, Sierra/Hummer EV), Tesla Universal Wall Connector + Powershare Gateway (Cybertruck), Wallbox Quasar 2 (Kia EV9), dcbel Ara Home Energy Station (Volvo EX90, Polestar 3), and for the Ford F-150 Lightning the Charge Station Pro + Sunrun Home Integration System (discontinued for new sales in 2026 — existing installations remain supported).
