South Australia’s ambition to become a global hub for renewables has attracted a chain big names including Neoen, SolarReserve, Elon Musk of Tesla, Sanjeev Gupta, Carnegie, Sonnen the German battery maker as well as Ross Garnaut of Zen Energy.

Tesla, an innovative tech company setting the pace in the world of energy storage is certainly a force to reckon. The company has ramped up its production of the Powerwall 2, the newest model of their smart home battery pack.

The futuristic Tesla is obviously a massive game changer in the world of technology. From next gen Tesla vehicles, Tesla solar roofs to storage battery banks, the company is becoming absolutely dominant.

Elon Musk, the famous Tesla CEO recently announced on the eve of the New York International Auto Show that the company would soon (September this year) unveil its exclusive all-electric, semi-truck known as the ‘Tesla Semi’.

If you thought we’ve already seen the best from Tesla, think again! Tesla is powering ahead with its impending electric pickup truck planned for a show off within the next two years, according to Elon Musk, the company CEO’s recent post on his Twitter page.

Late last year Tesla, in conjunction with Solar City, unveiled its innovative solar roof tiles made to mimic the regular roofing tiles but built with nearly the same efficiency of cells that traditionally gather solar power.

From remarkable car company displays to countless stands all-filled up with automotive-related products, the entire show was extremely massive and more auto-focused. And the reason for all that is obvious; with the revolution of connected cars, electric cars and autonomous cars taking shape, the automotive industry is becoming flooded by tech companies.

Take a moment and think about the number of Tesla Powerwall 2 or other household storage batteries South Australia needed to prevent its last power outage.

The first markets for the Tesla Powerwall have been named, and Australia is one of them, with deliveries expected in 2015. This highly anticipated and much sought after residential battery storage system has been described by Tesla CEO Elon Musk as changing the “entire energy infrastructure of the world”.

Elon Musk has announced he believes Tesla vehicles will be completely autonomous and have an electric range exceeding 1,000km by 2018. He also predicts that all new cars will no longer require a driver by approximately 2035.

Harvard researchers believe that flow cell batteries could be a rival to the Tesla Powerwall battery storage system. Professor Michael Aziz claims the new battery technology he is developing with his team of researchers will not only become a significant competitor to Tesla’s battery systems, he believes the flow-cell battery is in fact a superior design.

Whether Aussies like it or not, the automotive future contains electric vehicles (EV’s), rather than gasoline or diesel powered cars. All areas of the consumer car market are steadily embracing electricity.

Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk has officially unveiled the Powerwall along with it’s new Tesla Energy program that will be available in Australia later this year.

Tesla Motors has just recently unveiled its ‘Supercharger’ charging stations in the United States, however they are not alone in the market.
