Tesla’s new battery add-on aims to increase capacity, decrease install time
Tesla has launched a new product as part of its home energy storage portfolio, effectively allowing Powerwall 3 owners to upgrade their system’s capacity in less time.
On Tuesday, Tesla launched Powerwall 3 expansion units in the U.S., announcing the scalable solution alongside a short video demonstration on X. In the video, Tesla shows the difference between the installation times of multiple Powerwall 3 units, wall-mounted, and stacked expansion units, highlighting that the latter offers increased capacity with less hardware and a shorter install time.
Tesla says buyers can add up to three expansion units per single Powerwall to boost capacity, and it also highlights that the hardware can extend outage protection and further increase savings on owners’ electricity bills without requiring additional Powerwall 3 units. You can check out the short video below, highlighting that the installation of a stacked expansion unit with the Powerwall 3 took just 22 minutes, compared to 28 and 45 minutes of the respective wall-mounted expansion and non-expansion multi-Powerwall install.

Tesla now lists the expansion option on its website under the “Scalable” section of its Powerwall 3 specs, saying they’re available anytime with a 40.5 kWh max addition per expansion unit. Currently, the Powerwall 3 is available in the U.S., Canada, Germany, the UK, and Western Australia, though Tesla hasn’t yet debuted the expansion units outside the U.S.
The company first launched the Powerwall 3 in the U.S. in February, before beginning its rollout to Canada and countries beyond North America in the following months. The Powerwall 3 expansion units should make it even easier to deploy scalable energy storage, given its benefits and lower overall installation time.
The launch of the Powerwall expansion units also comes after Tesla last week announced that over 750,000 Powerwalls had been installed around the world, 100,000 of which have participated in the company’s Virtual Power Plant (VPP) programs. In addition, Tesla said that it deployed a record number of Powerwall installs in the U.S. in the last week of Q3 as it continues to ramp up rollout.
