With the electric car trend, batteries have become the main focus of our lives. However, we started to use batteries not only for electric cars but also for other products in our homes and offices. However, Tesla wants to prevent these uses. Here is the new battery usage restriction decision taken by Tesla and details…
Tesla is restricting battery usage in Australia!
From air conditioners to hot water heaters, from home heating systems to entertainment systems, many devices in our homes run on electrical energy. When we add electric cars to these, we see that we are now dealing with batteries and battery charging systems in almost all of our lives.
In Australia, things are different. Consumers charge not only their vehicles but also their homes, so to speak, with the help of products such as Powerwall. Many users provide energy to many products they use in their homes with the wall chargers they buy alongside their Tesla brand cars.
Xiaomi HyperOS 2.0 is coming in October. What will the software update, which is being tested within the company, offer?
In this way, users achieve quite large savings. However, this situation is changing. Because Tesla has disabled all such usage options in the Powerwall 2 product it has recently sold. Therefore, Powerwall 2 owners can only use basic features.
Both consumers and the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) reacted to the issue. AEMO said in a statement that the coordination of consumer energy sources is critical for the energy transition and that the grid will need additional investments without the interoperability of consumer batteries.
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, on the other hand, said that restrictions on access or product interoperability would be of concern where they significantly reduce competition. For Tesla, the situation is neither profit nor loss-making. The products in question are all connected to Tesla’s cloud system. In other words, the brand only needs to install simple software on the cloud to remove the restrictions.
In addition, these restrictions do not bring any profit for the brand. It should also be noted that there is no statement from the brand on the subject. So what do you think about this restriction of Tesla? Don’t forget to share your opinions with us in the comments section…
