I did a little research on this not long ago and it can actually be a real game changer.
It can benefit the power companies as well.
Elon Musk is no fool.
He understands the economics of this venture and is convinced they can produce these batteries at cost that is substantially lower than the current batteries being built.
He, and his engineers, basically redesigned the battery and how it is built.
Do a little digging on his “Giga-Factory” in Nevada.
I think his onto something.
Oh, I know a few things on the subject.
I built my own 100 KWH (storage capacity) solar system (infinitely expandable), and I also build small electric vehicles.
Have followed Tesla’s technology from since it was mere vapor ware.
And I’m looking forward with hope that the battery plant in Nevada will improve the technology and lower the price point of high capacity lithium cells.
But this is at best a small step forward, not a game changer.
