Electric Cars Are Coming !!!

Rapid Improvement in Battery Technologies combined with light weight materials for car construction are making electric-powered cars the vehicles of the future. Now the US manufacturer of Tesla electric sports cars has set a world record at the Global Green Challenge race in Australia, when the vehicle managed to travel a formidable 501 km on a single battery charge.

Its design resembles that of the Lotus Elan. Honda acheived a distance of 360 km on a single charge in the same race, but was more efficient in terms of distance travelled per watt hour of battery power. It achieved an efficiency of 85 watt hours per kilometre, which is claimed to make it the most energy efficient vehicle in the world.

Now it is no exaggeration to claim that electrical vehicles are going to be the part of our personal lives.
