The Tesla Powerwall has a lot of uses, from supporting the grid as part of a virtual power plant (VPP) to keeping the lights on during emergencies. But as showcased by Tesla Energy in a recent post on social media platform X, the Powerwall could also be used to ensure that a Bangkok nightclub’s raves are uninterrupted.
As noted by Ekkapon Kao, the owner of Echelon Nightclub in Bangkok, Thailand, power outages are a big problem for clubs in the city, especially when customers are already having fun. With a Tesla Powerwall in place, his nightclub could continue catering to its patrons even during power outages.

“When an outage occurs, Powerwall will supply the electricity and keep the music and air conditioning going. The design also matches the atmosphere of our club, and we can manage power usage with the Tesla App. Powerwall has made our business more comfortable,” Kao noted in the Tesla Energy video.
The Powerwall may indeed be a worthwhile investment for the Bangkok nightclub, especially since Echelon tends to attract quite a lot of patrons due to its “no door charge” policy. With raves starting from 10:30 p.m. onwards, it is no surprise that the nightclub’s owner opted to invest in a Powerwall to ensure that his business gets uninterrupted power.

Interestingly enough, the Powerwall used in the Bangkok nightclub is a Powerwall 2 unit, which has already been replaced by Tesla with the Powerwall 3. While the Powerwall 2 that is installed in Echelon nightclub has a capacity of 13.5 kWh and 5 kW of continuous output, the Powerwall 3 is capable of 11.5 kW of continuous output. As per Elon Musk in a post on X, the Powerwall 3 is optimized for ease of installation and high power, which means that a single Powerwall 3 unit can provide uninterruptible power supply for most homes.
