Tesla Motors has developed a car that has both sports cars enthusiasts and environmentally concerned consumers alike drooling. Their Tesla Roadster is a beautifully designed, ultra-quick, 100% electric sports car. JB Straubel, an engineer at Tesla, has spent years trying to design a commercially viable electric car and it looks like he’s got his wish. “His latest all-electric creation is faster off the line than a 510-horsepower Lamborghini Gallardo. More important, it can run 250 miles between charges, not 20, in large part because it’s powered by laptop batteries.” That’s right, it’s powered by thousands of lithium-ion batteries. Drive it all day, come home and plug it back in and in the morning, its batteries are charged and ready to go. Each mile driven equals out to less than $.02. So, now you can not only save the planet and some gas money, but look good and have fun doing it. Read more here.
