Pacific Gas and Electric Company, a unit of PG&E Corporation (NYSE:PCG), said Monday the Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) Cybertruck and related charging equipment are now approved for its residential Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) program in California.

The pilot enables customers to power homes during outages and sell electricity back to the grid using Tesla’s Powershare technology. It marks the first AC-based vehicle-to-grid system in the state, reducing hardware complexity and costs versus traditional DC setups.

Eligible participants may receive up to $4,500 in incentives, with additional earnings tied to grid support events. The companies said the program could accelerate EV adoption as flexible energy assets.
