If you haven’t already heard, the UK government has announced a ban on sales of petrol and diesel cars from 2040. The automotive world is changing, cars are becoming quicker, more efficient, and technologically more advanced than they’ve ever been.
It feels like it was only yesterday when Tesla's Elon Musk revealed his idea for the creation of the Model 3 and now it is here. Over the weekend, Musk’s vision for a mass market, affordable electric vehicle was revealed in its final form at Tesla’s factory in Fremont, California.
Among the many surprising details, it was announced that the Model 3 with a “long range battery” will travel as far as 498.9 kilometres on one charge. And with this same battery it’ll also accelerate from zero to 60 mph (97 km/h) in as little as 5.1 seconds with a top speed of 225 km/h. All this is quite remarkable because as it stands, there is only one other electric car in the world that has broken the 300-mile range barrier (482.8 km) and that’s the most expensive version of Tesla’s Model S.
