Tesla Powershare Installation in Vancouver and the North Shore
Tesla Powershare lets your Cybertruck power your home during an outage. Bourne Electric is a certified Tesla Powershare installer, and we install Powershare home backup across Greater Vancouver, the North Shore and the Southern Gulf Islands.
Our electricians are all Red Seal, and we’re a licensed electrical contractor (Technical Safety BC Licence LEL0101560).
How Powershare Home Backup Works
When the grid goes down, Cybertruck starts powering your home automatically through the Universal Wall Connector, as long as it’s plugged in and has charge above the limit you set. It provides up to 11.5 kW.
Your home may lose power for a few seconds while Cybertruck takes over, and again when the grid comes back.
Keep Enough Range to Drive
In the Tesla app you set a discharge limit: the charge level at which Cybertruck stops powering the house, so there’s always range left to drive. The app and the touchscreen show how much energy is left above that limit.
Powershare and Tesla Powerwall
Powershare also works with Tesla Powerwall. If you already have Powerwall, or you’re adding one, we’ll confirm the right equipment for your home when we quote.
Equipment and Installation
A standalone Powershare system uses a Tesla Universal Wall Connector, which charges Cybertruck and sends power back to the house, and a Tesla Powershare Gateway, which separates your home from the grid during an outage. Tesla requires installation by a certified installer, and we handle the permit with your local electrical authority.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Vehicles Support Powershare Home Backup?
Cybertruck. Powershare home backup isn’t available for other Tesla models in Canada yet.
How Much Power Can Cybertruck Provide?
Up to 11.5 kW. The charging equipment in your home can limit this.
Does Powershare Turn On Automatically?
Yes. Once Powershare is turned on, Cybertruck starts powering your home when the grid goes down, as long as it’s plugged in and above your discharge limit.
Can I Still Drive My Cybertruck?
Yes. You set a discharge limit in the Tesla app, so Cybertruck stops powering the house before its range drops below what you need.
