The History Of Electric Cars, And What They Can Do
Perhaps the most exciting electric car out right now is the Tesla Roadster, which can travel 350km on a single charge of its lithium-ion battery pack. It is also extremely fast - it does 0-60mph in just 3.9 seconds, which is faster than the average lamborghini or ferrari. There is no doubt that this would be an amazing car to drive. Of course, it’s pretty pricey (the cost is something like $100,000) but it is proof that electric cars really are amazing machines.
If you want, you can always just build an electric car yourself. This will of course take a certain amount of time and money. If you are really resourceful, you’ll be able to do the whole thing for under a thousand bucks. It could be an interesting project if you like working with cars.
Interestingly, the electric car was one of the first automobiles around. Way back in 1828 - almost two centuries ago - the first electric car model was made. Since then, the technology for electric cars has obviously advanced, and it’s unfortunate that there are virtually no electric cars actually on the road today. Very few electric cars were even produced by major car companies, even though heavy researched proved that it was a viable concept.
