With the announcement of grid storage being added and the announcement that tesla is working with local grid operators I see potential in the chargers actually becoming profitable as a large scale demand response product. The storage for 1 site was stated at 1mw with 300 total charge stations the capacity is 300mw which is equivalent to 3 100 MW Combustion Turbine plants. Image in 2017 when there are 1000 stations. 1000mw is equivant to 1/2 of all enernoc's demand response under management in 2009, they had revnue of 100M that year so i'd assume to see a 50M in revenue for tesla @ 1000 stations. What are your thoughts?
