LONDON – August 13, 2025 – Billionaire Elon Musk has just surprised everyone by officially bringing Tesla into the UK electricity retail market, expanding its operations from manufacturing electric vehicles to supplying energy directly to households.
According to the announcement, Tesla Electric UK will provide 100% renewable electricity, integrated with the Powerwall storage system and smart management platform. Customers can buy – sell – store electricity according to their needs, and connect directly to electric vehicles and home appliances. This move makes Tesla a competitor to “giants” such as British Gas, EDF and Octopus Energy.
Elon Musk affirmed:
“We don’t just sell electric vehicles, we want to bring clean energy to your home.”
Experts say this is a strategic move, helping Tesla close the energy-transportation value chain: from electric vehicles, storage batteries, solar panels to electricity distribution. The UK – a country that aims to completely decarbonize by 2035 – is considered an ideal test market.
Potential impacts:
Consumers enjoy more competitive electricity prices by buying directly from Tesla.
Traditional energy corporations face new competitive pressure.
Tesla diversifies its revenue sources, reducing its dependence on the global auto market.
Analysts predict that if successful in the UK, Musk will quickly replicate this model across Europe, turning Tesla into the “Amazon of clean energy”.
