"Under the new Powershare Grid Support program, owners of the Cybertruck equipped with Powershare home backup hardware can opt in through the Tesla app and participate in short-notice grid stress events. During these events, the Cybertruck automatically discharges excess energy back to the grid, supporting local utilities such as CenterPoint Energy and Oncor. In return, participants receive compensation in the form of bill credits."
"The launch builds on the Cybertruck's existing Powershare capability, which allows the vehicle to provide up to 11.5 kW of power for home backup. Tesla added that the program is expected to expand to California next, with eligibility tied to utilities such as PG&E, SCE, and SDG&E."
A vehicle-to-grid program called Powershare Grid Support enables eligible Cybertruck owners in select Texas markets to discharge excess energy back to the grid during short-notice grid stress events. Participation requires Powershare home backup hardware, enrollment in the Tesla Electric Drive plan, and opt-in via the Tesla app. Discharged energy supports local utilities such as CenterPoint Energy and Oncor, and participants receive compensation as bill credits. The program is currently invitation-only for early adopters and builds on the Cybertruck's ability to provide up to 11.5 kW for home backup. Expansion to California utilities is planned next.
