In the U.S., Tesla is spearheading the electric truck depot initiative, building the world’s largest solar-powered truck charging facility in Bakersfield, California. This infrastructure will support the expanding fleet of electric heavy-duty trucks, pivotal for freight and logistics amid regulatory shifts mandating zero-emissions transportation.
The company's energy division’s growth is exponential, with recent deals in Australia and California boosting battery storage capacity. As renewables comprise 30% of the global energy mix—and continue to grow 43% year over year—the demand for grid-scale storage is skyrocketing. Tesla’s battery assets are poised to dominate this sector, potentially valuing the company at trillions if their energy business is considered independently.
