Hybrid cars are nice but they’re not going to make a dent in our dependence of oil. A change won’t come until the innovators who spurred technology focus their innovation (and money) on the automobile industry.
With Tesla Motors this revolution has begun! Partially financed by Larry and Sergey, Tesla Motors has built an electric vehicle fueled by a lithium ion battery that goes from 0 to 60 in 4 seconds! With the ability to travel over 200 miles on a single charge the Tesla Roadster doesn’t need any oil. In fact the beauty of an electric vehicle is that its energy can be derived from multiple sources such as natural gas, coal, wind and others - thus allowing it to adapt to changing times.
The Tesla Roadster is now in production, however at a price tag that most us can’t afford. The promise in Tesla comes in the supply of their lithium ion batters to other manufacturers. In fact Mercedes is planning on releasing electric versions of its A & B class vehicles by 2010 and the battery supplier is Tesla Motors - with that the revolution begins.
