The battery-powered Tesla is based on a modified Lotus Elise chassis. Its maker, Tesla Motors, of San Carlos, California, claims it’ll zap 60 mph in four seconds, juice it to 130 mph, and spin the meter for up to 250 miles between charges. This car has no compromises: style, luxury, high speed, energy and efficiency. If you think that’s green, think again! The super swift all-electric Tesla Roadster goes ‘greener’. Nothing electric to deal with, it’s solar, making its way through this masterpiece. This photovoltaic enclosure, topped with solar panels, takes Tesla Roaster completely off-grid. The roof is a complete car port, which acts a power station for your electric vehicles, turning it into a high-tech, self-sustaining green wonder. The solar cover will be available as an option with Tesla Roadster as well as sold separately to be used for other electric vehicles.
