Through new bidirectional charger technology, your vehicle becomes a battery, storing electricity that can be used for your property in times of need and can provide savings on your electric bill. PG&E’s Vehicle to Everything (V2X) pilots offer incentives to help customers access this technology when available in early 2023.
Enrollment into PG&E’s Vehicle to Everything (V2X) pilot programs will begin in early 2023, once the vehicles and other required equipment are more widely available. Pre-enrollment is currently available to allow customers to:

Understand the technology
Key components of how a Vehicle-to-Everything system works:
1. Choose your vehicle.
Select a vehicle with bidirectional charging on the approved vehicles list (list to be posted soon).
2. Select a compatible charger.
Ensure there’s a bidirectional charger available to support your vehicle choice before you finalize your purchase decision together.
3. Find the right installer.
Unless you have an existing 208/240-volt outlet, you’ll need to work with an electrician who is certified by the Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Training Program.
It depends on several factors, including how much charge your vehicle has when the outage occurs, how much of your battery you would like to reserve for your transportation needs, and what electrical need the vehicle is supporting during an outage. For example, a Ford F-150 Lightning with standard battery range with 80% starting charge can power an entire home for two days or power critical home appliances such as a fridge for as long as a month and still keep 20% of the battery to power the vehicle.
The upfront incentives for the V2X Pilots were designed to offset the estimated extra cost of a bidirectional charger. The performance-based incentives and enrollment in the Emergency Load Reduction Program can provide additional savings to help offset the costs of your electric vehicle charger purchase.
