The Tesla Powerwall Can Now Adjust Charging During a Power Outage
Daniel Johnson — April 20, 2020 — Autos
The Tesla Powerwall was recently updated with new features for North American owners, who use the Powerwall to charge a Model 3 or Model Y vehicle. The new feature gives Tesla Powerwall the ability to modify charging during a power outage. This means that it can prioritize charging if it’s necessary, or alternatively it can stop charging the vehicle if there is a lot of stress on a house's power grid. This means that the device will not divert all the house's power to the car if necessary.
Overall, the new feature addresses potential concerns related to electric vehicle ownership and ensures a higher degree of owner safety, as they will not have to worry about losing house power.
