News stories this week are about the Telsa S Sedan. As you may have heard this is their electric sedan which is targeted at people with a couple of bucks. Priced at $57,400 you can get a $7,500 federal tax credit, which means a $49,900 bottom line. Certainly not an electric car for the masses.
The company's goal is to release the car in the third quarter of 2011, with an annual goal of 20,000 units by mid 2012. It will be interesting to see if they can meet this goal. If the economy does not turn around, then I have major doubts that this pricing will work.
Some of the interesting details: Seating for 7, which as one reviewer said means 5 adults and 2 children. 1,200 lb battery pack for a total weight of just over 4,000 lbs. This standard battery gives a range of around 160 miles with a "fast charge" option of 45 minutes. Not bad at all, but will this convince people to spend so much when Honda is aiming its electric/gas at around $20,000.
I guess your choice is a pure electric or a hybrid at much less. Here is a picture:
