Tesla, other eco-cars coming to the States
We are in a tough time economically right now because gas is high again and we’re dependent on foreign sources for oil. Clark thinks our efforts need to focus more on technology if we’re going to help the situation. One of the products out there is called the “Tesla.” It’s an electric car that will go 250 miles on one charge and is about the fastest performance car ever made. It will go from 0 to 60 in four seconds, which is amazing. And it’s on the market now for those who can afford it. The cars cost $100,000, which is obviously not feasible for most people. But the cost will go down. Toyota announced just in the last week that it is adopting the plug-in hybrid. The company was reticent for years, but now the cars will be everywhere. Also, Wal-Mart, FedEx and UPS are working on ways to make their trucking and shipping outfits more efficient. They spend a fortune on gas and average about six miles per gallon. There are also a bunch of new cars on the market that get above 30 miles per gallon. These include the Honda Fit, Toyota Yaris, the Toyota Camry hybrid and the VW Lupo.
