It's being marketed as the " Tesla Energy Plan ," and is available to any individual household in this region of 24 million people that has a solar panel system, a grid connection—and a Tesla powerwall, the Palo Alto firm's gigafactory-made 13.5 kWh battery wall unit. For bigger national grids it gets more complicated.

If these regional rollouts succeed, hydrogen FCVs might be just a few years behind plug-in vehicles in the commercialization process and might ultimately capture a larger share of the light-duty vehicle market. If these regional rollouts are successful, hydrogen FCVs may be just a few years behind plug-in electric vehicle, not decades.
