When enrollment is seamless, electric vehicle (EV) managed charging programs scale faster—delivering more value to utilities, customers, and the grid.

That’s why we’re excited to share that owners of Tesla Wall Connector EV chargers can now enroll in EnergyHub managed charging programs directly within the Tesla app. One of the largest U.S. utilities is already using the integration to streamline EV program enrollment and boost participation—and it’s coming soon to many of the 30+ EV managed charging programs we support across North America.

EV chargers aren’t the only Tesla devices capable of in-app enrollment; Tesla Powerwall owners have been able to join EnergyHub programs via the Tesla app since 2023. As the grid faces substantial load growth and rising electricity rates, our partnership makes it easy for Tesla customers to support grid reliability, earn rewards, and accelerate the clean energy transition.

Seamless communication delivers program scale

This summer’s searing temperatures underscored a crucial point: customer-owned energy resources are playing an increasingly vital role in maintaining grid reliability. To unlock the full potential of virtual power plants (VPPs), the entire customer journey—from awareness to enrollment to reward tracking—must be simple and seamless.

That process just got a lot easier for Tesla Wall Connector customers. Previously, enrollment required navigating multiple platforms, interfaces and accounts. Those same customers can now learn about their electric utility’s managed charging offering, enroll, participate, and track rewards all in one place.

Tesla chargers and batteries support in-app enrollment

Our expanded integration helps unlock megawatts of flexible capacity from Powerwalls and Tesla EVs when the grid needs it most. For Tesla customers, it’s a way to earn rewards and support their communities while maintaining control over their energy use. For utilities, it unlocks scalable, multi-device flexibility programs that help manage grid challenges, strengthen reliability, and keep rates affordable for everyone.

As more households install home batteries and EV chargers, virtual power plants are playing an increasingly important role in ensuring the grid remains both reliable and affordable. The Department of Energy estimates that deploying 80–160 GW of VPPs by 2030 could cover 10–20 percent of peak demand and save $10 billion in annual grid costs.
