Chevy Bolt EV, Kia EV9 Join New Wave of Grid‑Powering EVs in California

California’s vehicle‑to‑grid initiative now includes the new Chevy Bolt EV and Kia EV9, expanding the roster of electric vehicles that can feed power back into the state’s grid. The addition signals a growing trend of EVs offering owners the opportunity to earn revenue by sharing stored energy during peak demand periods. While the announcement confirms the capability of these models, specific compensation rates and program enrollment details have not yet been disclosed. The move could enhance grid stability and provide a new income stream for EV owners, though the exact financial impact remains to be seen.
