“The Model S will have a range of up to 300 miles and take about 45 minutes to charge, according to Tesla Motors’ Web site. Prices are expected to start just shy of $50,000.”

This is such a joke. If this was truly a promising and cost effective technology there would be private investors lining up. Tesla will be receiving a bailout in a few years.

Why do I just get the itchy feeling that that is too many amps to pull in 45 minutes through a 110 volt wall socket? Heck, you can only get one car battery to charge fully in an hour using a charger. So doing a whole bank in 45 minutes is cooking.

I support all-electric cars and the nuclear plants to provide the power supply.
