Big news for EV owners in California & Connecticut: We’re launching V2G programs leveraging Wallbox’s new Quasar 2 charger! For years, we’ve talked about the potential of EVs to do more than just drive—what if your car could power your home, lower your bills, and even earn you money? With bidirectional charging + our Virtual Power Plant (VPP) platform, that future is finally here. If you’ve ever thought: ? “Why can’t my EV keep my house running during an outage?” ? “Can I sell my car’s stored energy back to the grid?” ? “How do I save money on charging?” Now you can. Through our new V2G programs in CA & CT, you’ll be able to: ? Get paid for your EV’s energy – Sell excess power to the grid at premium rates. ? Turn your car into a backup battery – Keep the lights on when it matters most. ? Save big on electricity costs – Smarter, cheaper home energy management. ? Access 50%+ subsidies for the charger – Making it even easier to get started. This isn’t some far-off vision—it’s happening now, and we’re enrolling participants. If you’re in California or Connecticut, spots are limited. Folks with a Kia EV9 will be first off the waitlist! ??Sign up to be part of it → [link in comments] Huge thanks to Wallbox Chargers for pushing bidirectional charging forward and to the California Energy Commission & CT Innovative Energy Solutions for supporting this transition to a smarter, more resilient energy future. Let’s build it together. ????? #V2G #BidirectionalEnergy #Quasar2 #EVcharging #CleanEnergy #SustainableLiving #EnergySavings

Hello, World - After nine months of stealth development in San Francisco, we are thrilled to unveil Estes Energy and our chemistry-agnostic battery platform built for the next era of mobility. Our third-generation technology powers commercial, defense, off-highway, marine, rail, and emerging physical AI markets, delivering the performance and unit economics required for mass electrification. The challenge is clear: for electrification to win in the U.S., it must outperform internal combustion on cost and capability—while securing a U.S.-based supply chain. Estes Energy is here to deliver. By pioneering innovations in novel light-metal alloys, elegant high voltage battery architecture, and giga-scale manufacturing, we're reshaping the U.S. industrial base for the electrified future. This journey would not be possible without the support of our visionary Pre-Seed investors: Baukunst, Rally Cap VC, Trucks Venture Capital, DCVC, and Gigascale Capital, along with our strategic and individual investors. Together, we are building something massive. If you'd like to learn more, visit estes.energy and drop us a line.
