The Tesla is an efficient (~105 miles per gallon equivalent model S) all electric car. Helps the environment, but you want to put Tesla products at you home, and save money. During the day, it charges from your solar panels. In the evening, when electricity is expensive and you can't get more power from your roof, the power wall releases the electricity into your home. You can buy multiple for $3,000 each (7 KwH. 10 KwH is $3500 per).This excludes installation fees. It also comes in different colors. Tesla is planning a gen 2, but there aren't very many details on that. Tesla has also developed a Powerpack for use in major buildings. The capacity for them is 100 KwH per.
You may ask "How does it work?". Well, here is how. The solar panel generates energy (see Solar Post) Then, the energy goes to the Inverter and the Powerwall. At night, The Powerwall releases its energy into the inverter, which shows up in your electrical outlets.
There is some competition for Tesla, but not much yet. 13 days ago, Nissan released its version called the xStorage. It is only available in Europe. Nissan has no immediate plans to bring it to the US. With the conversion, it costs about $4,500 for a 4.2KwH unit, but this includes installation. Mercedes has plans of creating competition. But , there is no cost or release date.
As you see, The Tesla Powerwall is a very interesting product. It has some competition, but I think the Tesla will be the clear leader in The Solar energy storage market.
Air Pollution Next post in series Samuel Desai Many environmental activists, unlike me, like to say that pollution is an important issue. I prefer to categorize them into three different topics. Air Pollution, Water Pollution, Noise Pollution, and Light Pollution. The other types of pollution are for another week but don't worry, you will hear about them soon. You may believe that Carbon Dioxide (CO2) it the only pollutant, but it isn't. There are others. One type is methane gas, emitted by livestock and swamps. Another CFC's or chlorofluorocarbons which were used in refrigerators, hairspray, and many other things. But they were banned internationally in 2010 because of its deteriorating effect on the ozone layer. Personally, I think that the pollutant which harms us the most is sulfur dioxide. Sulfur Dioxide is a component in smog, but also reflects sunlight out into space, causing a global cooling. This may seem good, but sulfur dioxide is directly link...
PORSCHE MISSION E by Tej Mehta The Porsche Mission E is Tesla's new enemy. All these German automakers, like BMW and Porsche are trying to put Tesla down by making better electric luxury vehicles. I also posted on the Audi trons, which are supposed to target the Model X. The mission E, which is now no longer a mission, is supposed to target the model S sedan. Since the mission E has now been green lighted for production, it is not a mission. Therefore, I will address it in this post as the Porsche "E". The Porsche E goes 0-60 in 3.5 seconds, close to Tesla's 0-60 in 3.2. It will have a range of 311 miles, and can be charged wireless through a coil set in the garage floor. Porsche is ready to take on Tesla and become the king of electric sports cars. I used an article from Autoweek that that can be accessed here .
