Tesla has applied to become a "Market Customer" in Australia's electricity market, hinting at its upcoming 'Tesla Electric' service launch in the country.
'Tesla Electric' offers Powerwall owners automated electricity buying and selling, acting as an energy retailer.
Currently available in Texas, Tesla plans to expand this service globally.
Australia's challenges with power supply stability and high electricity costs make it an attractive market for Tesla's energy solutions.
Tesla's involvement in Australia began with the "Tesla Big Battery" project, addressing power grid issues.
Elon Musk's commitment to helping low-income families led to initiatives like installing solar arrays and Powerwalls in thousands of Australian homes.
