AI’s next bottleneck may not be chips.

It may be electricity.

Our latest feature argues the AI race is becoming an infrastructure race — and that batteries, grid flexibility, substations, and power delivery could matter more than many expected.

US confirmation that Tesla is LG Energy Solution’s $4.3 bn LFP customer ties a three-year, Michigan-based cell supply to the upcoming Megapack 3. Prismatic LFP cells will start production in 2027, feeding Houston’s Megafactory and delivering higher energy density and longer cycle life for grid-scale storage. The deal anchors a domestic battery supply chain and speeds utility-level renewable integration. #LFP #EnergyStorage #Tesla - Powered by FG
