Oh yes. I still have not jumped on to the ecomentalist bandwagon. Other people might be excited by this world record – a Tesla Roadster claims the longest distance travelled by an EV on one charge.

The Roadster, driven by Australian Simon Hackett and co-driver Emilis Prelgauskas, was able to travel 313 miles before the charged crapped out.

Hackett and Prelagauskas claim that as glider flyers, they used energy conservation techniques to be able to extract the most from the Roadster’s batteries.

And so the F what? In all practical purposes, a car running on gasoline isn’t really concerned about covering miles. Sure the number of miles per gallon do matter somehow but fossil-fueled cars don’t need hours to get running again.
