ᐅ Using a Tesla Battery as a Home Energy Storage System?

Good day!

I am generally very satisfied with my car, but I can no longer justify continuing to drive a Tesla. So here is my thought: instead of selling a four-year-old Model 3 with around 150,000 km (93,000 miles), one could theoretically remove the battery, install it in a weatherproof enclosure, and then use it as a home energy storage system behind the garage. The garage, which is about 70 square meters (750 square feet), could be equipped with photovoltaic panels.

Does anyone know how much a new 55 kWh battery storage system would cost? That would get you pretty far, right? Is there anything else to consider?

Thanks in advance, Matthias!

May I ask what the cost per kWh at Superchargers is for Tesla users today?
Unfortunately, it’s no longer possible to generalize as easily as in the past. It depends on several factors: Supercharger version (V1/2/3), peak times, whether it’s part of a charging station cluster, and usage frequency. I’d say currently it’s around 38–52 cents per kWh for Tesla customers.

Sounds complicated. EnBW with the L tariff (39 cents + 17.99/m) is actually quite good for frequent drivers.
In my opinion, you can find it at every Hellweg and many Burger King locations.
