They’re fast and could give a Ferrari a run for its money, yet they run solely on electricity and produce zero emissions.
The Tesla Roadster electric car is hugely popular in Southern California and the new model is now on the roads and causing great excitement.
You may not think of the electric car as synonymous with speed and glamour.
Southern California is the largest single market for Tesla Motor’s electric cars and currently the company can’t make them fast enough.
The company hopes to enhance its reputation further as it unveils the Model S, an electric sedan.
The Roadster has earned acclaim for its exceptional design and performance efficiency.
As an all-electric car it also creates no emissions, being of great value to the environment.
The car is powered by a massive lithium-ion battery pack, the same technology in laptop computers and cell phones composed of 6,831 individual cells.
Despite tough economic times and a massive shrinking US vehicle market, demand for hybrids continue to outpace the overall market.
Tesla itself says, however, it is not making money on the venture.
