Tesla's CEO Martin Eberhard is helping shape a future without gas. Seemingly out of nowhere, he has drawn upon the power of labtop lithium batteries to power an entirely electric car that does 0-60 faster than a Mercedes and goes for up to 250 miles at about 2 cents a mile before it needs recharging. This car IS the future.

    Does a commissioned Pod really count as "Picked for TV"

    I love the subject., no problem with it being on. It just seems like something commissioned was picked for TV before it was even made. . . :)

    I was hoping there were companies like this hiding in the shadows!

    Great concept, great company. 6,831 batteries? Man I'd hate to have to change those, or figure out which one went south when it does. These cars do cost $100,000 though, so it's practically out of reach to anyone watching your network IMHO. I'd Love to see more stories on the Plug-in-Hybrid conversion kits which cost about $10K on a $30K Prius and get 100mpg, those at least would be financially feasible for many of us. -zen

    Needs differing perspective: lithium ion batteries might be far more environmentally toxic than standard automobile emissions.
