Tesla has issued a product recall on its Powerwall 2 residential battery storage solution across Australia due to a “battery cell defect” from a third-party supplier.

Governor of Maryland, US, Wes Moore, has announced a US$2 million initiative to make battery storage more accessible for residents and business owners in the state.

Anthony Albanese, leader of the Australian Labor Party, has pledged to introduce an AU$2.3 billion battery subsidy scheme if re-elected.
