EV’s as distributed energy resources: how would it work? | Interchange Recharged (Podcast - Video)

Sylvia Leyva Martinez speaks with Aseem Kapur, head of GM Energy’s product portfolio, about the bold idea of using electric vehicles as grid resources. They explore three big questions: Can EV owners really trust their cars to power homes, without sacrificing battery life or mobility? With thousands of utilities across the US, how realistic is it to scale a fully interoperable system? Will incentives and market design make EVs valuable energy assets, or keep them just cars with plugs? From pilot programmes with major utilities to GM’s investments in battery manufacturing, this conversation explores whether EVs can truly deliver on the promise of a flexible, decentralised grid.
