One of the companies that has invested the most in the research, production and commercialization of electric cars is undoubtedly the North American “Tesla”. For 2015 the company is betting on “Tesla Roadster 3.0“, A car with a range of 644 km. In other words, after recharging the battery, we can travel the distance described without worries. It should be noted that the maximum autonomy of the previous version is 393 km.
With this autonomy, we can leave Luanda to Benguela and we can still travel for a few more hours there. It is exactly a demonstration like this that the company will do in 2015, a trip between San Francisco and Los Angeles.
The secret to this evolution lies in the lithium-ion battery, which is now 31% more efficient. There are also changes (for the better) in aerodynamics, reducing air resistance by 15%, as well as the tire friction coefficient. These changes allowed the new Tesla to have that upgrade 40 and 50% autonomy in relation to the first model, launched in 2008.
Currently, Tesla electric cars are priced 60 and 90 one thousand USD, but with the rising price of gasoline, it is an option with return on investment.
Someone willing to offer one for the edition of MenosFios as a holiday gift? (Trying is not forbidden).
