GM To Offer All Ultium-based EVs With This Feature By 2026

The 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV RST will be the first to receive it.

General Motors, which has brands like Buick, Chevrolet and Cadillac under its umbrella, has made an announcement that will surely excite all EV (Electric Vehicle) lovers out there. The company says that by 2026, all the Ultium-based EVs will be offered with vehicle-to-home (V2H) bidirectional charging technology.

In case you’re unaware of the technology being discussed here, it enables EV users to transfer energy (in this case, electricity) from the EVs to their homes when desired. Of course, the establishment has to be equipped with the required gadgets to receive such feeds. Such a setup will come in handy during power outages. Another example would be to offset electricity needs during peak demand days.

The first models to receive the technology mentioned above include the 2024 versions of the Chevrolet Silverado EV RST, GMC Sierra Denali Edition 1, Chevrolet Blazer EV, Chevrolet Equinox EV, Cadillac Lyriq and the upcoming Cadillac Escalade IQ.

MG’s EXE181 Concept electric hypercar pays tribute to a record-breaking car

Global auto expos and concept car unveils go hand in hand and British-born MG continues this tradition at the ongoing 2024 Beijing Auto Show by unveiling an all-electric hypercar concept called the MG EXE181 Concept. If you recall the name from before, Sir Sterling Moss set a land speed record in 1957 with a car called the EX181, which stands to this day. An extra E was added, probably to signify the electric powertrain’s presence, and the design inspiration borrowed from the record-breaking car further helped the concept achieve a drag coefficient of 0.181, explaining the nomenclature behind the concept’s name. MG engineered this car to attain a top speed of 415 km/h and the interior with a streamlined steering wheel and Head-Up Display setup further emphasizes the priority on speed. Tom Lee, Managing Director of MG Motor Middle East, said: “The unveiling of the EXE181 concept is yet another clear demonstration of the eye-catching progress that the MG brand is making both globally and regionally. This concept car embodies MG’s core values of innovation and design excellence, showcasing our commitment to pushing boundaries and shaping the future of automotive technology.”
