When Tesla unveiled the Megapack, the company positioned it as a battery that had the potential to render traditional coal and gas-fired peaker plants obsolete. If the Hawaii and New Mexico batteries are actually completed this year, for example, Tesla would end up breaking last year’s installation record by about 50%.
