All your Powerwall 3 questions answered!

Since the Tesla Powerwall 3 launched, we’ve been answering lots of questions about the battery.

What are the key features? How does it compare with Powerwall 2? How do the discharge rates differ? What impact does the built-in inverter have? Will I really be able to ‘power everything’ in my home? When is it available for install?… and lots more besides.

So, we thought we’d share this chat between our Head of Residential Sales, Dan Miszewski-Wall, and Jenna Myles. It covers the answers to your Powerwall 3 questions, and the things to know about this game-changer!

Dan’s also great at explaining AC and DC coupling, the Octopus Flux tariff, and whether he thinks power cuts could become a thing of the past with this battery.

Take a listen…

Orders and pricing

We are taking orders for the Powerwall 3 now, and we’re installing from September for bookings already received.

We’re also running a promotion for contacts signed on or before August 31st.

We are offering the Powerwall 3 at £8,110 when it is installed alongside solar. The usual price will be £8,410.

You will also save on the solar installation cost by not needing a separate inverter fitted. All batteries are now VAT free too.

If you’re looking for a standalone Powerwall 3 (battery only, no solar), our promotional price throughout August is £9,250. Our usual price will be £9,550.

As always, we’d love to help you with battery storage and solar for your home, so please do get in touch with us or share a few details for a quote, and we’ll respond very soon.

Here’s to greater energy security, and reducing energy bills and carbon simultaneously!

Octopus Energy Launch the Tesla Energy Plan

Octopus Energy’s Tesla Energy Plan has now ceased. It has now been superceded by Octopus Flux. Octopus Flux is an innovative electricity tariff that changes import and export tariffs throughout the day. You can top up your battery with cheap electricity in the middle of the night, and earn money by discharging your battery to the grid at peak times. Read our guide to Octopus Flux here.

Joju Charging win at the EVIEs Awards

It was a night to celebrate for Joju as our work was recognised with two prizes at the prestigious EVIEs Awards.

The EVIEs are the leading UK industry awards for those involved in the electric vehicle industry, and their remit is to “shine a light on innovation and excellence in the emerging EV sector”. The awards reflect on the achievements of those companies and institutions engaged in delivering the electric vehicle transition.

The panel awarded Joju Charging the prize for “Contractor of the Year” in recognition of our work designing and installing EV charge point schemes for the Public Sector, homes and workplaces. Joju’s Commercial Director, Joe Michaels said “We’re delighted to have received this award … it is a testament to the hard work put in by the team, and the partnerships we have developed with councils and charge point manufacturers. We decided to start offering EV charge just over three years ago, and we are now delivering many hundreds of quality charge point installations each year.”

The prize for “Public Sector Infrastructure Strategy of the Year” was awarded for the Central Southern Regional Framework – run by Hampshire County Council in partnership with Joju Charging as the installation partner. Hampshire established the framework to deliver a coherent charging solution for public sector bodies across the south of England. We are now engaged with 64 public sector bodies in the Framework region and have completed 400 charge points under major programmes for:

Surrey Police
Southampton City Council
Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council
Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
Chichester District Council
Sussex Police
Reading Borough Council
Southampton University
Southampton Solent University
Test Valley District Council
New Forest District Council

The Framework also features an innovative fully-funded option, developed by Joju, which enables councils to install charge points at zero cost.

All in all, it’s been a great team effort and, naturally, we’re all enjoying being recognised by the EVIE Awards. But Joe is keen to stress we’re not finished there. “To be recognised as industry-leading installers in such a short time is a great achievement. But the EV transition is just at the very early stages, and there is a huge amount still be done to electrify transport over the next decade. That’s our mission”.
