When a Tesla owner shared his annual electricity bill, the internet was shocked. With the high cost of the car itself, everyone expected a hefty price tag. But the reality was astonishingly different.
The owner revealed his bill on social media, showing a total of just $2.37 (£1.89) for the entire year. This is a fraction of what people expected, especially considering the typical cost of charging a car.
So, how did the bill end up being so low? The answer lies in the Tesla Powerwall, a game-changing battery that integrates with the home’s electrical system. When paired with solar panels, the Powerwall stores excess energy, which is then used to charge the Tesla. Although the Powerwall itself is pricey, starting at $11,500 (£9,000), it can lead to significant long-term savings.
The community was amazed and amused by the low bill, with some joking about the Powerwall’s cost and even suggesting a GoFundMe page. As Tesla continues to make headlines with its latest model, the Cybertruck, this story highlights the potential for sustainable savings with the right technology.
If you’re a Tesla owner or considering purchasing one, the Powerwall might be worth the investment. Despite the initial cost, it could lead to remarkable savings over time.
