Energy Insiders Podcast: Changing the grid, one Tesla battery at a time

In an exclusive interview, Tesla Energy APAC boss Josef Tadich discusses the extraordinary progress made since the first big battery was built at Hornsdale in 2017, and why the technology is already there to support Australia’s charge towards 100 per cent renewables.

He also tells Giles Parkinson and David Leitch about the latest developments on inverters, cell prices, battery sizes, home storage, and the possibilities of vehicle to grid, and why Tesla is still on mission to wean the world off fossil fuels. 

Energy Insiders is brought to you by Pylon and Evergen.
