| A little bit of more ten years ago, we started to see hybrid cars, half-driven by gas and half-driven by electricity. You can easily identify these cars by the sign of "hybrid".
|
| Recently, one of my co-workers bought an all-electric-car from Tesla (Model S) - all driven by electricity, no any gasoline. By it, I know that Tesla is an all-electric car on the market, on the roads, and not any other makers.

Here are quotes from Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Model_S
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) official range for the 2012 Model S Performance model equipped with an 85 kWh battery pack is 265 miles (426 km), higher than any other electric car at the time.[11][12][13]
The replacement Model S 85D has a top speed of 155 mph (249 km/h) and it accelerates from 0 to 60 miles per hour (0 to 97 km/h) in 4.2 seconds, despite the lower total motor power, in part due to the improved traction of the all-wheel drive powertrain. The Model S P85D, a dual motor all-wheel drive vehicle has a governed top speed of 160 mph (260 km/h)[49] and it accelerates from 0 to 60 miles per hour (0 to 97 km/h) in 3.1 seconds (tested to 3.3 seconds), under "Insane Mode", with 1G of acceleration.[49][50]
