The champion of the electric car movement
Posted on by Kolbe
As the push for greener transportation continues, it’s important that there are people leading the charge and championing the cause. Tesla Motors seems to be stepping up to be the hero we need. They project for this year to deliver 50,000 vehicles. That number is impressive for electric cars, but the real excitement comes from their projection of 100,000 delivered cars on an annualized basis next year. CEO Elon Musk has also stated that they have partnered with Panasonic Corp. to open a five billion dollar new “gigafactory” to begin producing cheaper and more efficient car batteries. It’s exciting to see a large push like this from an electric car company. Until now electrics and hybrids have been the underdog, but they are poised to push themselves and greener transportation to the front of the pack.
