It seems the US has got up to speed with the electric car . Interesting for our part that its named after a Croatian Nikola Tesla, a Serbian immigrant born in Croatia. The car looks worthy to carry his name don't you think.

Apart from the recharging time, electric getting closer.

Octy 2, 1.9 TDI PD Ambiente 4x4 Combi and Nissan Sunny 2.0 DLX, Company Octy 1.9 TDI Tour Combi.

They've been out for a few years now. Fine, as long as it's full of electricity from renewable sources, whose generators were made from recycled materials. And of course as long as the nickel for the batteries was recycled when made into the car's battery, and recycled again at the end of its life (along with all the other parts...)

Otherwise, it's not really all that green at all!

The name Tesla was chosen because it is the SI-derived unit for magnetic flux density (electric motors making use of magnetism and all...)
