Tesla has recently rolled out a new promotion in Texas that offers buyers a year of low rates for unlimited home charging if they purchase a new vehicle and enroll in the company’s electric plan. Customers in Texas who take delivery of a Tesla before December 31 and sign up for the Tesla Electric Fixed Plan can receive a year of unlimited home charging for only $5 a month. The Fixed Electric Plan typically costs $15 a month for unlimited electric vehicle charging, while Tesla also offers an Electric Dynamic plan with unlimited EV charging for $25 a month.
The Tesla Electric plans in Texas allow the company to manage and adjust energy systems based on market changes, or owners can manually control energy flow through the Tesla app. Users with Powerwalls and solar panels can sell energy back to the grid at a fixed rate or near-market prices with Tesla’s upgrade monthly plan. The Fixed plan includes a 12-month term, a $400 credit per year per Powerwall enrolled in the Virtual Power Plant program, fixed rates for selling energy back to the grid, and discounted electricity rates during low-cost hours. The Dynamic plan offers a $120 credit per year per Powerwall, month-to-month contracts, peak rates during high demand events, and the ability to sell energy back to the grid at 90% of the real-time market price.
Tesla officially launched its Tesla Electric program in Texas in 2022 after receiving approval from the Electric Reliability Council of Texas in the previous year. The company has also initiated multiple Virtual Power Plant pilot programs in various U.S. states and other countries, enabling groups of owners to create distributed batteries during peak demand times. This initiative aims to provide more flexibility and efficiency in managing energy resources and reducing overall energy costs for Tesla owners in the Lone Star State.
The promotion for unlimited home charging in Texas is part of Tesla’s effort to provide more value and incentives for customers in the state. By offering a year of low rates for unlimited home charging, the company aims to encourage more individuals to transition to electric vehicles and take advantage of sustainable energy solutions. Tesla’s Electric plans not only benefit customers by providing cost-effective charging options but also contribute to a more efficient and sustainable energy grid in Texas.
Customers interested in the promotion can find more information on Tesla’s website regarding the Electric Fixed and Electric Dynamic plans. With the Electric Fixed plan offering a discounted rate for unlimited home charging and the option to sell energy back to the grid at fixed prices, Tesla is making it easier for owners to manage their energy consumption and costs. By participating in the company’s Virtual Power Plant program, customers can also contribute to a more resilient and environmentally friendly energy system in Texas.
