What does the future hold for the global car industry? The scandal at Volkswagen has highlighted the way in which emissions regulations are becoming tougher and tougher, and carmakers are finding it harder than ever to stay within the rules. So has the door finally been opened for electric cars? It's fair to say we've been waiting for them to come good for quite a while now. In fact they've existed for more than 100 years. Now for most of that time, electric cars were frankly rather rubbish. They were slow and they couldn't go very far before their batteries ran out. But now that's changing and the evidence is right here. The car I'm sitting in is a Tesla Model S, and fans of the car claim it's rewritten the script for electric vehicles. And with me here is Laura Hardy of Tesla.
Laura, and just tell me what is apparently so special about this car?
The real difference between previous cars and Model S is that Model S was being designed as an electric car from the ground up so it enabled us to really rethink the Rubicon. What you would do if a car was electric from the start?
I think we can agree that it's technologically an advanced car, but is this something that's gonna change the way the market works, get people driving electric cars?
I think what Model S has done is brought consumers from other vehicles, so from, such of car owners who won't buy an electric before. |
