[EDIT: In this video, we misidentified the partner working with GM Energy on a home-charging solution for the Silverado EV. We said it was "SunRun" but in fact, GM Energy is partnering with "SunPower". Given the system installed by Sunrun on behalf of Ford is actually produced by a third party, we stand by our statement that we believe both V2G systems are likely either the same, or very similar. We apologize for this error. [/EDIT]
