3. Tesla will fill up with sunshine from 2015

Electric cars are quiet and produce no exhaust fumes without them. But their rechargeable batteries are filled with electricity, which has mostly been porudized in a not very environmentally friendly way. The American electric car pioneer Tesla therefore relies on green electricity from wind or hydropower and is now also cooperating with the German specialist Solarworld. Soon solar power will make driving completely without CO2. The caports with solar elements on the roof supply the Tesla vehicles with electricity. With an average amount of sunshine, that's around 2200 kilowatt hours. That is enough to drive a Tesla in around 12.000 kilometers at no additional cost. Well then, Waldmanns Strom!

It can go from zero to 100 km / h in just 7,3 seconds with a standard consumption of around 4,1 liters.
