Tesla Motors is releasing a 100% electric car that begins its torque curve at around 180 ft lbs, with about 240 claimed horsepower. I had no idea the technology had progressed this far. Granted, all the eco-heads fail to mention the problem of battery disposal (those batteries are easily as toxic as all the pollutants our gas guzzlers produce), but this seems pretty significant, as it's a sports car rather than an Ed Begley, Jr. golf cart powered by a couple of energizers.
