Before I finally make my way to bed after this mammoth web browsing session, I just had to share this beautiful nugget of information with you.
Imagine a car that looks great, is fast, and has a great fuel economy. Imagine this car doesn't run on petrol. Imagine a car that runs on over 3000 lithium ion batteries like the ones in your laptop or mobile phone.
Well, apparently, you need not imagine it at all since it is actually a reality.
Tesla Motors are about to go into mass production with their Tesla Roadster. It sounds like an amazing piece of kit and also like the sort of electric vehicle lots of people would buy. To be green and fast is the dream and it looks like its here.
I can't wait for say, 10 years time, when these guys may have rolled out saloons and hatchbacks that we can all afford. Lets hope this type of vehicle catches on as it would mean a fundemental change to overall carbon dioxide emmisions as well as leaving no one with an excuse to own a gas-guzzling SUV, the swines!
Take a look at http://www.polarman.com/2006/07/tesla_motors.html because he's concerned about the battery life with the Roadster. Any insights about it?
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments on my polarman site. Interesting about their chief battery designer. Sometimes I'm an early adopter, so this might be a car to adopt.
