TRENDS of automotive world is now slowly but surely shift to electric-powered vehicle drive systems / battery. The big question still hanging is, how long these vehicles can be used?




Tesla Motors could be regarded as the pioneer of electric vehicle (EV) by producing a Roadster sports car in early 2008. With his success in 1600 to sell electric cars, they have a natural research laboratory that can answer that question.

A customer Tesla 83rd in Europe named Hansjorg von Gemmingen, has just recorded a number of 100,000 km on the odometer of his vehicle. Von Gemmingen living in southwest Germany is consistently driving the electric vehicle even during winter.
