The general principle for bidirectional charging is EVs can either feed power from a charged vehicle back into the house (vehicle-to-home or V2H) or interact with the electric grid itself (vehicle-to-grid or V2G). No word yet on which EVs will take part. (GM Cleaner power—and energy sourcing—is a more pressing concern.
