Tesla Motor, a small California company, has designed a two-door electric sports car called the Roadster. It is stylish but is priced a little high to be competitive. The small company believes that once the major car manufactures start to produce electric cars in great volume ,
Prices will come down. Experts say that building a larger four-door sedan which most people use would be too heavy. Larger electric cars need more batteries, which reduce their fuel efficiency. Unfortunately for the environment, most major car manufactures like Toyota, General Motors, BMW, Hyundai, and Lexus are not investing as much in electric car models. They are introducing hybrid models as the way of the future.
