One of the main goals of the Energy Storage Grand Challenge is to develop a domestic supply chain of raw materials. But after years of incremental improvements, the battery scene is undergoing a major shift.
The controversy also affected consumers in the commercial and industrial behind-the-meter market, where demand shrank fourfold to just over 200 MW.

They have also deployed Tesla Powerpacks on their grid to complement the distributed energy assets in the homes of their ratepayers. As with gas-powered cars, EVs let the driver know when power is getting low.
