Yeah, they're not that beautiful objects.
They're just kind of a little black skateboard.
With a bunch of red and black wires coming out of it.
But this is really the core of an electric vehicle.
The thing that really distinguishes the AI companies that they really want to move fast and building battery storage coupled with renewables is often much faster than interconnecting to the grid or building natural gas turbines.
So we can be the first movers.
And so what that is is 60 megawatt hours and 12 megawatts of reused electric vehicle batteries powering a data center completely disconnected from the grid.
It only took us four months to build.
So this is really just engineering production here, but it's the beginnings of what will eventually be a 10 gigawatt per year manufacturing line that we will most likely site out at our facility in Nevada to be able to mass produce this thing in a way that's industrially relevant for the world.
great question.
It does work without the AI surge.
The AI customers are really excited.
They want power fast, and we are in a position to do that.
But we can absolutely sell into all of the things that grid-scale energy storage is sold into today.
And we do have those customers.
They're just a little more measured, a little slower to get going.
The bill from the Republican legislature would prevent incoming Democratic Governor Josh Stein from appointing the state's elections board, and it would take power away from other statewide offices won by Democrats. Current Democratic Governor Roy Cooper says the changes are unconstitutional and shouldn't have been attached to a Hurricane Helene relief bill.
