Tesla, the leading EV and energy products maker, has announced that it will now be selling Tesla-branded products at Bunnings Warehouse stores in Australia, including EV chargers and the Powerwall 3 household battery.
The offer is available at select stores to begin with, but in future could expand further given Bunnings Warehouse’s footprint of over 280 stores nationwide.
On the company’s local Australia & New Zealand X page, also owned by CEO Elon Musk, Tesla shared an update saying: “Powerwall 3, Wall Connector & Mobile Connector now available at select Bunnings Warehouse stores”.
Two of the three products are for EV charging, making it easier for EV drivers to purchase a charger straight from Australia’s leading hardware store.
At the time of writing, the products being offered and their pricing include:
According to the Bunnings Warehouse website, EV charger installation for the Wall Connector is also available in set locations. As of November, this service is available at:
More stores are highlighted as “coming soon”, which hints that this service is likely to be expanded to more locations around the country.
This is not the first time Tesla has sold EV charging equipment out of retail stores. In the US, Tesla has a similar offering at stores like Best Buy.
Since deliveries began in 2014, Tesla has sold over 120,000 EVs in the Australian market. For many years, Tesla delivered vehicles with charging equipment in the form of a wall connector, universal mobile charger, or, in some cases, both.
In recent years, the charging equipment is purchased by the customer and by offering it via Tesla’s website, app and now Bunnings, more choices are available to new and existing customers.
