Tesla touts new battery technology, wants to change US power usage - lithium battery pack
Tesla launched a set of batteries on Thursday to try to get the United States out of dependence. S.
And the world's unused fossil fuels.
Of course, it is also necessary to persuade Americans to buy a lot of batteries.
"Tonight is a fundamental shift in how the world works," CEO Elon Musk said in a speech at an event at Tesla design studio in Hawthorne, California.
Announced the Tesla Energy Battery.
Tesla is no longer just a car company, Musk said, but wants to allow homes, businesses and utilities to store and manage solar energy.
"We have a convenient fusion reactor in the sky, called the Sun [and it produces ridiculous energy," Musk said . ".
Tesla has announced the launch of a rechargeable lithium battery Powerwall to meet household electricity demand
Ion batteries are designed to "store energy at residential levels for load transfer, backup power and self-power"
Tesla said in a statement.
Powerwall lithium by Tesla-
Ion battery packs, liquid thermal control systems and software that receive scheduling commands from solar inverters.
Tesla said the device was installed on the wall and used "extra power to allow customers the flexibility to draw energy from their reserves ".
The ultimate goal is to produce batteries at Tesla's gigabit plant in Nevada.
"Initially, the ramp will be slow because [the battery pack] will be manufactured in Fremont, California.
"The factory," Musk said.
"Next year, as we transition to the Gigabit plant in Nevada, the ramp will go higher," he added . ".
Musk hopes to produce Powerwall on a large scale for American families by expanding production at its gigabit plant.
"An ordinary family can install it on their garage or on the exterior wall of the house," Musk said . ". He continued.
"The problem with the existing batteries is that they are expensive, unreliable, ugly, and there is no place to buy a battery that can work.
"To show that it is possible to completely change the use of electricity in the United States. S.
Musk showed the map of the country in his speech.
"In the United States, there is very little land needed to remove all fossil fuels for power generation," Musk said . ".
There is a small blue square on the map, which is about the same as the big county of a state in the United States. S.
"Blue Square is all the land area needed for the American transition. S.
The situation of zero carbon electricity.
Musk said: "Most areas are roofs . . . . . . The roof of the existing house . ". Musk continued.
"We need to store the energy generated during the day so that we can use it at night . . . . . . The energy generated during the day is much more than dawn or dusk.
"So, it's important to make the energy generation go smoothly and keep enough energy so you can use it at night," he said . ".
Tesla has thrown out a variety of statistics to support its argument of storing solar energy.
"The US power sector alone produces more than 2 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide, just like burning 225 billion gallons of natural gas.
The EPA says it will need 1.
"The United States has a forest area of 6 billion acres to offset environmental damage," the company said in a statement . ".
Powerwall has 10kWh optimized for backup applications or 7kWh optimized for daily use applications.
Both can be connected to the solar or power grid, and both can provide backup power.
10kWh Powerwall is optimized to provide backup when the grid is off.
When paired with solar, the 7kWh Powerwall can be used for daily bike Sports to extend the environmental and cost-effectiveness of solar energy to a night without sunlight, Tesla said.
Tesla's price to the installer is $3,500 for 10kWh and $3,000 for 7kWh.
(Frequency converter and installation are not included in the price.
) Delivery starts in late summer.
The company also announced a larger battery pack, Powerpack. -
According to Musk, the scale is much larger ".
According to Musk, this includes a "giva-class device . . . . . . Power the small cities ".
Tesla says it has partnered with utilities and other renewable energy partners around the world.
