Lithium battery cost drop | Why is Tesla's energy storage artifact Powerwall up 22%? |
|||
Tesla's official global pricing for household energy storage artifacts has re-adjusted from $5,900 to $6,700. The company has increased Powerwall prices from $5,500 to $5,900 earlier this year. Currently, if it meets 100% of households Powered by clean energy and ensuring power supply for at least 24 hours during a power outage, two Powerwalls are required for a total cost of $14,500 (including a minimum installation cost of $1,100). This way, Powerwall's price increase has reached 22% this year.
So, in the case of the declining cost of lithium batteries, why does Tesla's Powerwall price rise sharply? Tesla's official explanation is: 'We occasionally adjust our global pricing to best reflect our customers. The value of the products offered and our products. 'The company claims that Powerwall has 'unparalleled capabilities' and points out that its battery performance continues to improve over time, the ability to work seamlessly with solar panels and backup power functions, and through Wireless updates add new software features. Intelligent software to minimize peak power consumption during use, use advanced sensors to track customer energy usage patterns, and signal Powerwall to indicate peak hours (ie, the most expensive Time period) Use stored energy.
In addition, in July this year, Tesla added a 'storm observation' function to track bad weather. The Powerwall automatically charges to full capacity, so the home can continue to supply power when the grid is out of power. |
