Tesla says every new vehicle can now power devices with Powershare

Tesla says every new vehicle can now power external devices through Powershare, building on its recent expansion of Powershare to the Model 3 and Model Y in the United States.

According to a post from the official Tesla North America account on X, the feature allows owners to use their vehicle’s battery to power tools, gadgets, and other electrical equipment through the charging port.

However, despite the post coming from the North America account, Canada does not yet have any Model 3 or Model Y with Vehicle-to-Load capability, even though both vehicles were previously advertised, albeit briefly, as having the feature.

But in a follow-up post, Tesla clarified that the feature is available in the United States and Mexico using the Mobile Connector and Outlet Adapter.

Tesla Energy also highlighted another capability of the technology, confirming that Powershare can be used for more than simply powering tools and smaller devices.

“With Powershare, your new Tesla can function like a portable battery. In the US, it can also power your home with Powerwall 3,” Tesla Energy said.

The announcement follows Tesla’s October 6 expansion of Powershare and V2L functionality to the Model 3 and Model Y in the United States.

Under that expansion, Model 3 and Model Y vehicles ordered in the U.S. and Puerto Rico after October 1, 2026, are Powershare capable, along with all Cybertruck trims, according to Tesla’s support page.

Tesla has been silent on when V2L might arrive for the Model 3 and Model Y in Canada. It does not appear to be a regulatory issue as the Cybertruck, and several other non-Tesla EVs already have V2L capability, so we’re not sure what the hold up is.

Whatever it is, hopefully it is resolved soon and Canadians are finally able to use their Model 3 and Model Y to power their favourite gadgets, or even their house.
