Tesla Has Plans To Sell Or Lease Lithium-ion Battery Packs For Home Energy Storage
During Wednesday’s 2014 earnings call, Tesla CEO Elon Musk apparently revealed a new line of business for the Tesla company. The company will venture into selling or leasing home battery packs for home energy storage.
We’re going to unveil the Tesla home battery [indiscernible] consumer battery that will be for use in and [sic] people’s houses or businesses, fairly soon. We have the design done and it should start going into production probably about six months or so. We probably got a date to have sort of product unveiling, it’s probably in the next month or two. It’s really great. I’m really excited about it.
Six months may be too long if you are looking for a battery option immediately. Aquion battery systems might be an option if you can’t wait for Tesla’s home batteries to come out.
