Tesla Installs Asia’s Largest Energy Storage System In Two Days


Tesla promised to help South Australia with its energy problems back in 2017. It followed through by building what was at that point in time the world’s largest battery in just 100 days. CEO Elon Musk had said that the entire project would be completed “100 days from contract signature or it’s free.” Tesla was able to do just that. The company has now installed a Powerpack at Osaka station in Japan in just two days. All the hardware was put up at an incredible pace.

It says that this is Asia’s largest energy storage system. Tesla’s Osaka Powerpack system will be used as an emergency backup for the busy Osaka station and will also help to reduce peak energy demand.

The 42 Powerpack units will provide enough energy to move a train safely with all of its passengers for up to 30 minutes to the nearest station if there’s a power failure. The 7MWh project is the biggest energy storage development in Asia, according to Tesla, and all of the hardware was installed in just two days.

The backup system will certainly be very useful for the station as it’s one of the busiest in Japan, transporting millions of people daily. Tesla’s system would ease passengers’ troubles in the event of a power outage.

Four Robocalling Companies Get Multimillion Dollar Fines From FTC


There’s an ongoing debate about increasing the pressure on robocalling companies in order for them to mend their ways. It has become a serious problem in the country as more than 26 billion robocalls were placed in the United States just last year. The FTC has handed out multimillion dollar fines to four robocalling companies and ordered them to cease operations.

The four companies included an operation which apparently scammed businesses by passing itself off as Google. These companies have been shut down after they settled the lawsuits with the Federal Trade Commission.

The FTC announced that these companies made billions of robocalls in the United States. They have now settled the lawsuit and will be paying hefty fines in addition to ceasing their operations. The companies include Higher Goals Marketing, NetDotSolutions, Veterans of America, and Pointbreak Media. The lawsuits were filed against them between late 2017 and mid-2018.

Veterans of America is alleged to have misled people into donating vehicles for a fake veterans charity while Higher Goals sold fake debt relief services to clients. Pointbreak allegedly called small businesses pretending to be Google, warning them that their Google listings will show as “permanently closed” unless they paid hundreds of dollars to keep the listing online. NetDotSolutions licensed TelWeb, an auto-dialing system, to other robocallers while a related company ran call centers for customers who answered the calls.

As part of this settlement, the owners of these companies have been barred from running any other robocalling operation. The fines that have been handed down range from $500,000 to $3.6 million.
