Book Now Book NowHow Vehicle Backup Power Works
Vehicle-to-home (V2H) technology allows your EV battery to supply electricity to your home during outages or peak-rate hours. The system detects when the grid goes down and instantly redirects stored energy from your vehicle to power essential appliances, lights, and systems.
Unlike gas generators, these systems are silent, emission-free, and self-monitoring. Your refrigerator stays cool, your Wi-Fi keeps running, and your family remains comfortable while the rest of the block waits for power to return. When the grid is restored, the system automatically switches back, recharging your EV and preparing for the next event.
This dual-purpose setup means your vehicle isn’t just transportation. It’s a flexible power reserve that can keep your home running in emergencies, reduce dependence on the grid, and help lower your energy costs through smarter energy use.

“Our 99 year old father had a complete power failure. Castle came out immediately and within two days replaced every wire and put in a new electrical panel in a new location. It was amazing that they were out to his house immediately and replacement was done without a hitch. The wiring inspector commented on what a great job they did. It was a huge job and it was a really difficult situation as my father would not leave the house. We are so grateful to Castle. Not considering the quality of work alone, they were kind and considerate of a very old man. Thank you Castle Electric and we highly recommend your services.”
