Is there any analysis on how Elon/Tesla may choose to breakdown battery capacity between Auto vs Energy? One factor I can think of, according to their plan to reduce carbon emission, is which would get the most bang for the buck in terms of removing carbon dioxide production.
According to
this, EV emits 0.23kg less CO2 per mile vs gasoline car. A 85kwh MS, at 12000 mi/yr, 85kwh of battery saves you 2,760kg of CO2.
According to
this, on average electricity sources produce 1.22lb (0.55kg) of CO2 per kwh of power generated, peakers probably produce a lot more CO2 per kwh. If the same 85kwh battery is put to energy storage and displaces peakers, and if it is cycled once per day, it eliminates the need to generate 85kwh of electricity per day, we get 0.55 * 85 * 365 = 17,063kg of CO2.
So it seems that battery putting into TE would drastically be more efficient in cleaning up CO2 than TA. My question then is, how will this effect long term Gigafactory allocation to TE vs TA?
