Apple will reportedly use Tesla's batteries at its California solar farmWhat you need to know
Apple announced that it is building a new solar farm in California.
A new report claims the site will make use of Tesla's Megapack batteries.
A local planning chief appears to have confirmed Tesla's involvement.
Apple announced yesterday that it is building a solar farm in California that will use batteries to store the energy generated. But what it didn't say was that it will be using Tesla's Megapack batteries as part of the project.
Reported by The Verge, the 240-megawatt-hour facility has been approved by the Monterey County Board of Supervisors, with 85 Tesla lithium-ion Megapacks used to store the energy that will ultimately power Apple's Cupertino HQ. Monterey County's planning chief confirmed the use of Tesla batteries in an email, the report says.
Tesla announced the Megapack batteries in 2019 and they've since been used around the world.
