An electric car that doesn’t look like an iron!
At last – there is a car coming on the market that is not only electric, but that looks great too. It might be slightly more expensive than the normal chug-a-long weirdly-shaped earlier versions like the tiny Tango that stars like George Clooney are currently driving!
He deserves the roadster! Both have 0-60 in under 4 seconds – and this beauty can travel 220 miles per charge – thats less than 2 cents per mile and the equvalent of 256 miles per gallon!!!
There are still issues about whether electric cars are more environmentally friendly than gasoline driven motors – but when you are driving the Tesla through town at those mileage prices you won’t be mocked by all and sundry!!!
With it’s great photo on Tesla Motors home page and plenty of available facts to interest you and your wallet – you would be hard pushed to find anything wrong with it. The vehicle meets all the necessary Department of Transportation requirements for insurance and registration, and even connects to your iPod and is Blue-tooth enabled.
What are the benefits of driving an electric car?
There are many according to Tesla: ‘reduced dependence on foreign oil, zero emissions, and a cost of less than two cents per mile driven (using off-peak charging rates with a time-of-use meter. Many areas also offer carpool lane access and/or special parking privileges for electric cars. Check with your local DMV for details’.
The EV is claimed to be a more environmentally friendly transportation solution than an ethanol-powered or fuel-cell powered motor - quite simply they cost less per mile to drive, they also use less fuel per mile driven – also producing less pollution per mile driven.
There is also the concern that electric vehicles move pollution to another location – ie – the factory burning the fossil fuels to create the electricity in the first place – but Tesla Motors have the answer: ’Most electric power generation in the United States does not use oil. Coal, hydro, nuclear, solar, and natural gas are typical sources for generating electricity.’
Added to the fact that an electric car is far more efficient than a gasoline car, and they add that ‘a battery electric car like the Tesla Roadster is able to put more than 80 percent of the energy it consumes to use in moving the car down the road.’
