Tesla: Battery hooah!

In the fight for renewable energy, Tesla just won an important round.

CEO Elon Musk had pledged to build “the world’s biggest lithium ion battery” within 100 days or “provide it for free” to South Australia. The deadline has been met, and Tesla’s battery is now storing energy from a wind farm in that region.  Thirty-thousand homes can be powered with this supply, which will go a long way toward alleviating South Australia’s blackouts.

Better yet, it’s contagious.  South Korea will soon have a battery that “is about 50% bigger than Tesla’s.”  This one is currently being built by the Hyundai Electric & Energy Systems company.
