Living off the grid is no longer just a catch phrase, as Tesla Motors is working on a new kind of battery that would be used to power homes, Ibtimes reported.
The new battery, which is based on Tesla’s lithium-ion battery technology, is expected make the company market leader in home energy-storage sector.
Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk recently announced that the design of the battery was ready and production would start in about six months.
