Musk moves to bring Tesla Power to the UK with car sales stumbled

The controversial Elon Musk is making the controversial, and it is making major moves in the United Kingdom, as its Tesla electric car company is looking to find new ways to diversify its income flows.

According to OffGem, the UK’s energy regulator, Tesla officially applied for a license to sell electricity to families and companies throughout Britain.

Approval of this application can be a great boost for both Musk and Tesla, which has seen SKID sales where Musk has become increasingly polarized in American policy.

The data published by the UK’s auto manufacturing and dealer association showed that new Tesla cars sales decreased by 60 % to 987 units last month, a decrease from 2462 years a year ago.

In Germany, at the same time, sales of Tesla cars fell to 1110 units in July, a decrease of 55.1 % from the same month in 2024.

The company continues to face severe competition, especially from the Chinese EV manufacturers, and the reputation damage resulting from the incendiary rhetorical relationship in Musk with the administration of US President Donald Trump.

The deposit was presented at the end of last month by Tesla Energy Ventures and signed by Andrew Pine, which oversees the European energy operations of the company.

If it is approved, it may clarify the way for Tesla to join the ranks of retail energy suppliers in England, Scotland and Wales early next year.

The energy sector in the United Kingdom It generates more than 200 billion dollars a year, and it can be a slice of that exactly what Musk is looking forward to supporting Tesla.

Tesla is already active in power and storage: The company develops solar energy systems on the roof and home battery products, and manages a Texas electrical service called Tesla Electric, which was launched in 2022.

This service allows customers to decide when to use energy and reward them to sell surplus energy to the network during the peak for demand, which may reduce their bills or even earn money. It is a Tesla model that seems ready to be repeated in the UK market. The goal of this ecosystem is to get Tesla in your corridor, solar tesla panels on your roof, and the Tesla Powerwall battery in your garage, and now the Tesla Electricity plan to manage everything. This license is the decisive final piece of this puzzle.
