Current Availability in Australia (V2L Only)

•⁠  ⁠Eligible Vehicles: Powershare V2L capability is standard on new Model Y variants (such as the 6-seater Model Y L) and all MY27 Model 3 orders. You can check compatibility in your car by navigating to Controls > Software > Additional Vehicle Details to look for the "Powershare capability: Enabled" tag.

•⁠  ⁠How it works: You can use Tesla’s optional outlet adapter plugged directly into the car's charging port to run small appliances, camping gear, or power tools.

The Status of Home Backup (V2H & V2G)

While the US has started integrating Model 3 and Model Y vehicles into its Powershare Home Backup ecosystem alongside the Powerwall 3, Australia is facing different regulatory timelines:

•⁠  ⁠The Timeline: Tesla is reportedly targeting mid-2026 to officially enable full Powershare Home Backup for Australian Model 3 and Model Y owners who have an existing Powerwall.

•⁠  ⁠The Tech Bottleneck: According to Tesla Energy APAC, the company is bypassing expensive third-party external DC-to-AC inverters. Instead, Tesla intends to use the car’s built-in onboard inverter to keep costs low. However, certifying an EV's internal inverter to meet Australia's strict AS4777 grid connection standards is the primary regulatory hurdle delaying the local launch.
