How much does a Megapack project cost?

The price goes down considerably for a bigger project. For example, a 10-Megapack project costs $19,235,700. With 38.5 MWh of capacity, the price per kWh goes down to $500. The price goes down to $475 per kWh for even larger 100+ Megapack projects, which are actually becoming quite common.

Why is Tesla increasing the price of the Megapack?

Tesla is significantly increasing the price of the Megapack – its utility-scale battery pack – as the backlog of new orders extends into 2023. Back in 2019, Tesla launched the Megapack; it was Tesla’s third stationary energy storage product after the Powerwall and Powerpack.

How much does Megapack installation cost in California?

How much energy does a Megapack store?

Details on the Megapack have been in short supply up until now since, unlike the more consumer-focused Powerwall, the Megapack has largely been a business-to-business product.

How much energy does a Tesla Megapack have?

Tesla has recently updated its Megapack configurator (hat tip to u/space_s3x) to now list 3.9 MWh capacity. That’s about 50% more energy capacity in a single Megapack, but the battery system is now 6-ft longer and 60% heavier at 83,996 lbs. It would indicate that while the energy capacity has increased, the energy density of the Megapack went down.
