Your Tesla Model 3 or Model Y can now run your house during a power outage. Tesla’s PowerShare update turns the car into home backup power, and for most households it’s a bigger battery than anything you can buy for the garage.

For context: a Tesla Powerwall holds about 13.5 kilowatt-hours. A portable power station like an EcoFlow Delta Pro holds around 4. A Model Y’s pack is roughly 75. You already own the biggest battery on your property. In this episode I break down what bidirectional charging actually requires at your house, what it costs, how Tesla’s approach compares to Ford’s Intelligent Backup Power and GM Energy’s setup, and where the catch is, because there is one.
