I guess I don't need to say this is a gorgeous automobile anymore. And if you think this is "in the future" or "someday" stuff. Think again. Running on a lithium ion battery, and nothing else, the car has a range of 240 miles on a single charge. There are 150 of these babies on the road already, and they are currently putting out 20 per week and are sold out through the fall.
The car shown here and featured in the video below (ABC News, 3/3/2009), sells for $109,000, so it's obviously not for everyone. But in 2 years, Tesla will sell a full size sedan for half that price that will have a 230 mile range, charge fully from any outlet in 45 minutes, consuming about $5 worth of electricity.
And that's with one company making them. Imagine an entire industry competing for this market. Imagine filling up your car for $5.
