Tesla Powershareis a "bi-directional charging" technology with the ability to supply power to a load from aTeslavehicle. Potential loads include electrical tools and appliances, another Tesla or non-Tesla vehicle, and/or a home/building. As of December 2023, Powershare is available only viaTesla Cybertruck.[1]Similar facilities are available from automakers such asFord,[2]GM,[3]andKia.[4]

Cybertruck

The Cyberbruck offers five power outlets, including 4 120 V 20 A and 1 240 V 40 A.[3]Cybertruck comes with a 123 kwh or larger battery, which Tesla claimed should be sufficient to power a typical US house for ~3 days, given that that the Cybertruck battery is the equivalent of 10 Powerwalls.[1]The 240 V outlet conforms toNEMA14-50 specifications.[5]

Specifications

For home backup, Powershare delivers a maximum 11.5 kW continuous power at 240 V AC. LRA motor start is 110 Amps.[1]Its power outlets can deliver 9.6 kW to other loads.[5]

Facilities

Powershare can be controlled using the Tesla phone App.[3]

Requirements

Vehicle to AC loads (V2L):Devices such as power tools can be directly connected to the outlets in the truck.[1]

Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) AC charging:Charging another vehicle requires a Tesla Mobile Connector.[5]The vehicle to be charged needs a matching AC charging inlet, so eventually an SAE J1772 charging adapter between the plug of the Tesla Mobile Connector and the (AC) charging inlet of the other vehicle.

Vehicle to Home (V2H) via AC:Connecting a Tesla Powershare compatible vehicle to a home requires one of two ways: either aTesla Powerwalland Tesla Wall Connector.[1]Then, no additional equipment is required.[1]Or if not using this combination: then TeslaUniversalWall Connector and Tesla Gateway, and optionally a Tesla Backup Switch.[1][3]With the Tesla Backup Switch, faster, more affordable installations are possible when approved by utility and jurisdiction.[1]The Tesla Wall Connector (withoutUniversalin its name) alone isnotmarked as compatible with Tesla Powershare on the Tesla website[6],in contrast to the TeslaUniversalWall Connector, which is stated as compatible.[7]
