Everything we know about Tesla's massive commercial battery, the Powerpack
Tesla
Tesla has some bold plans for energy coming in 2017, and its massive commercial battery, the Powerpack, will play a huge role in what's to come.
Tesla is in the midst of buying SolarCity in a deal worth $2.6 billion, which shareholders will vote on November 17. Tesla CEO Elon Musk is looking to disrupt the solar industry during a potentially difficult time under President-elect Donald Trump, a climate denier putting the fate of solar subsidies into question.
A big component of Musk's energy plans hinges on the success of the Powerpack - a generally overlooked product for lacking the same sexiness as Tesla's solar roof tiles or at-home battery.
But technically, the Powerpack could play a more important role in Tesla's energy vision than either the Powerwall or solar roof. Here's everything we know about the commercial battery:
