Tesla Powershare
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tesla Powershare is a bi-directional charging technology with the ability to supply power to external items from a Tesla vehicle, such as electrical tools and appliances, another Tesla or non-Tesla vehicle, or a home. As of December 2023, Powershare is available only via Tesla Cybertruck.[1] Similar features are available from automakers such as Ford,[2] General Motors,[3] and Kia.[4]
For vehicle to load (V2L) use and vehicle to vehicle (V2V) charging, Cybertruck offers five power outlets :
- 2× 120 V 20 A (2.4 kW each) NEMA 5-20 in the cabin (1 inside center console, 1 at rear console),
- 2× 120 V 20 A (2.4 kW each) NEMA 5-20 in cargo bed,
- 1× 240 V 40 A (9.6 kW) NEMA 14-50 in cargo bed.[3][5]
For bidirectional charging scenarios (V2H/V2G), it offers more power on its NACS charging inlet (now also used as an outlet) via an internal bidirectional AC charger (240V, 48A, 11.52 kW).
Cybertruck comes with a 123 kwh or larger battery, which Tesla claimed should be sufficient to power a typical US house for about three days, given that the Cybertruck battery pack's capacity is the equivalent of roughly 10× Gen2/Gen3 Tesla Powerwalls.[1]
