The Cheapest Electric Car In The USA

With each passing year, electric vehicles are gaining more popularity and attention. After all, the problem of air pollution in the city is gradually being resolved as a result of their presence. However, the high cost of production does not allow the introduction of this new mode of transportation everywhere. Therefore, many automakers have staged a real race to reduce the price of an electric car.

The latter were able to achieve significant success, reducing the cost of an electric car to 10 thousand dollars! And today we will evaluate one of them to find out how much the price reduction has reflected on the performance of the car itself.

But in 2008, Elon Musk held a presentation of his first electric car - the Tesla Roadster. #inventions #technology #car #electric If you are the author of the materials or the copyright owner of it, but your authorship was not indicated or you object to its use, please contact me: [email protected] Don’t miss next videos: Press the little bell ((🔔)) to get notifications Production Music courtesy of Epide...
