Tesla Motors has announced a very fast electric car . The company has spent $25 million developing this two-seater convertible car, which costs between $85,000 and $100,000. The car can accelerate from 0 to 60 kilometers per hour in 4 seconds, all powered by batteries.

General Motors spent 10 years developing an EV-1 electric car that many environmentalists hoped would be the pioneer of a new trend, but GM eventually abandoned the car because its range was less than 100 kilometers, making the EV-1 unsaleable.

Unlike the EV-1, the electric car developed by Tesla can travel 250 kilometers on a single charge. It uses lithium-ion batteries , which have three times the capacity of the EV-1. In addition, its battery weighs only about 900 pounds, while the EV-1's battery weighs more than 1,100 pounds.

The EV-1 connects 26 batteries together, while Tesla's electric car combines 6831 batteries together. The advantage of this is that the power can be concentrated together. In addition, if a battery is broken, the on-board computer will quickly find the location and it will not affect the use of other batteries. This new electric car has a 240-volt charger, which can fully charge the car from 0 in 3.5 hours. It can also use the 110-volt voltage used in American homes, but the charging time is longer.

Environmentalists hailed the electric car developed by Tesla as a remarkable breakthrough because it uses no gasoline but clean electricity as its power.

Tesla will begin taking pre-orders for the electric car and will begin selling it in the middle of next year. The company hopes to sell 4,000 to 5,000 units in the next three years.
