Scientists, researchers and car manufacturers have been working to change this image. Although hybrid models such as the Toyota Prius are on the market, they still produce emissions and require gasoline to function. In addition, they are not stylish.

Chevrolet and Nissan are expected to release electric cars; however there is already one on the market that has been creating a lot of buzz and positive reviews. This car is the Tesla Roadster.

It comes with a Home Power Connector unit and Mobile Connector that allows you to charge your car battery wherever you are. The vehicle has the capability to travel over 200 miles per charge. The longest the car has been said to run on single charge is 311 mpg. In addition, this car is far from slow. It can reach 0 to 60 in about 3.9 seconds and reach speeds of up to 125 miles per hour.

There is more to the Tesla Roadster than just speed, power and the distance it can be driven. The Roadster is also very eco friendly. Because it does not require gasoline to run, the car reduces little to no emissions. This will reduce the amount of pollutants and exhaust released into the air and environment. In addition, the Roadster and other vehicles like it have the potential to reduce dependency on oil and other fossil fuels. The less oil and fossil fuel that needs to be burned equates to less air pollution and the use of natural resources. Using an electric vehicle like the

Roadster will also save consumers money. Although a recharging cord will cost about $3,000, charging your car consistently will be cheaper than buying gasoline or diesel fuel in the end.

Tesla will also offer a sedan. The Tesla Model S sedan is a sedan designed for comfort, safety and offers luxurious space. With a second cargo area under the hood. Their Model S is engineered to plug into nearly any outlet and you can recharge in less than an hour. The Tesla Model S offers instant torque-0-60 in 5.6 seconds and a 120 mph top speed.

As you can see, the Tesla Roadster has the potential to help revolutionize the image of the electric car. Time Magazine, Forbes, Popular Mechanics, Global Green USA and BusinessWeek all seem to think so. Although the car is being sold for about $100,000, it is definitely worth the money. It offers all the conveniences of a standard sports car. It is sleek, stylish, fast and powerful. It is also environmentally and financially friendly. It is definitely a car worth the price and consideration.
