New GM Electric Pickup Truck

I drive a plugin hybrid that I recharge from my household solar power system.

I have been following the development of the Bollinger Farm utility truck, I would love to drive one of those.

Vehicle to Grid is often debated. On the surface it seems like a good idea. The devil is in the details. By the time GM actually has produced a pick up truck with that capacity there will be plenty of options for Grid Tied battery systems. Tesla, Sonnen, BYD, CALT and LGChem already have products in some markets.

The Off Gridders can comment on the likeliehood of their buying an EV pickup to plug into their Off Grid homes.

I just read that the new GM all electric pickup truck coming out in 2021-22 will have a 180KWh battery.

Even if someone turned off the Sun, that would power my home for over a week.. But I think I'm going to need more panels to get it charged up. Can you imagine that? 180 KW of storage? How much you want to bet they do something to sabotage it so it can't be used off grid.
