Elon Musk’s Tesla given go-ahead to supply electricity in Great Britain
AI Summary
Tesla, under Elon Musk, has been granted an electricity supply license by Ofgem, allowing the company to provide electricity to homes and businesses in Great Britain. This move expands Tesla's energy ambitions beyond electric vehicles and mirrors its existing Tesla Electric business in Texas, which focuses on sustainable energy solutions. While Tesla can supply electricity, it cannot offer dual fuel contracts. The company already participates in a "virtual power plant" program in Britain through Octopus Energy, utilizing Powerwall home batteries. This expansion comes as Tesla faces declining car sales in the UK and Europe, partly attributed to increased competition and controversy surrounding Musk's political views and actions.
