FranklinWH Energy Storage has announced the addition of the aHub to its Franklin Home Power Solution. This adapter enables the connection of EVs that have vehicle-to-load (V2L) capabilities and 120-V/240-V portable generators to FranklinWH’s home energy management system. Should a home be impacted by a grid outage, the Franklin Home Power Solution can leverage energy from more sources in addition to what is stored in its aPower batteries to keep a home running for as long as possible, reducing anxiety for homeowners during emergency situations.

aHub works with EVs with V2L to add those vehicles as another potential power source in an extended outage. By working with portable generators, aHub provides a cost-effective alternative to relying on standby generators. When accounting for purchase price and installation costs, using aHub with a portable generator instead of a standby generator reduces total cost of ownership (TCO) by 50% to 70%.

“Whether due to extreme weather events, issues within our aging power grid or unknown reasons, power outages create a lot of anxiety for homeowners across the country,” said Gary Lam, Co-Founder of FranklinWH. “With aHub, homeowners will have more choices on how to power their homes, so they do not have to suffer during extended outages. It’s yet another way we are enabling homeowners to take more control over their energy future.”
