tesla (and Panasonic) moves beyond electric cars with new California battery farm.
From the road, the close to 400 white industrial boxes packed into 1.5 acres of barren land in Ontario California, look like standard electrical equipment.
Inside the boxes are thousands of battery cells- the same ones that are used in Tesla's electric cars- made by the company (and Panasonic) at its massive $5bn Tesla (and Panasonic) Gigafactory out side of Reno, Nevada.
"This spot, located at the Mira Loma substation of southern California Edison, hosts the biggest battery farm Tesla has built for a power company."
