Results: Elon Musk unveils Tesla Powerwall batteries to 'change the world'
Tesla founder Elon Musk just unveiled Tesla Energy, an ambitious plan to power the world with a new design of home battery called the Powerwall, with the aim of making more consumers less dependent on the grid. The newly designed Powerwall, will be available in "three or four months" and will cost around $3500 — and can theoretically be scaled "infinitely."
"Our goal is to fundamentally change the way the world uses energy," Musk told a press conference at the Tesla Design Center on Thursday night. The Powerwall will be connected to the Internet, Musk says, to allow for the creation of local smart grids. Up to 9 devices representing 90 kilowatt hours can be stacked per home.
