Tesla Solar Power Car
Tesla motor is the new generation automotive company which manufactures alternative energy vehicles like solar powered car, hybrid vehicles and battery operated vehicles. The basic difference between a normal car and solar car is their power source. Like solar powered home, solar cars harness energy from the sun by converting it into electricity while a normal car is powered by traditional fuel sources.
Solar powered car
Tesla solar plans for total clean energy integration, a one-step carbon reduction process that involves pairing solar panels with Tesla electric vehicles. The company focus on the mission by continually making electric and solar cars at more affordable prices to reach broader consumer base.
