(Reuters) – U.S. electric carmaker Tesla Inc has applied for a licence to supply electricity in the United Kingdom, The Telegraph reported on Saturday.
The purpose of the licence may be to introduce the company’s “Autobidder” platform, the report bit.ly/2z18diE said, citing a company source. The application does not make clear why Tesla has applied for the licence, The Telegraph reported.
Having built a significant battery business in recent years, the carmaker is now preparing to enter the British market with its technology, the paper said, citing industry sources.
