California's PG&E is the biggest utility in the US. In their territory electricity on the default residential plan ranges from $0.41 to $0.54 per KWh.


Still, that's 4x back. It really helps incentivize buying a larger powerwall, and disincentivizes the power company from sapping the battery dry right before you need it.


Yeah, I'm not saying it's a bad deal for the battery owner, but rather that it isn't the huge spread that you had assumed based on a reasonable electricity price. :shrug:


How many hours a year would one expect to get this?


And they’re raising prices again next year.
