German cities have problems with pollution. Therefore they have banned certain cars with too much pollution from the cities. This goes for cars that don't clean the exhaust fumes to meet the standards set. Now a court in Dusseldorf has decided that municipalities might be forced to ban all...

Tesla Motors is deleting the Motors part, shall we not do the same? Or do we want to remain focused on just the motors part of Tesla. Personally I would prefer to cover all things TESLA here.

As Eberhard pointed out some time ago, the Tesla roadster cannot display 100,000 km on the odometer. Why is it impossible to do 100.000 km with the Roadster? Now in my model S I have crossed the 100,000 km line in the trip display B. But it shows as 1e+05 km. As several others in this forum I...

After a hard day's work, I relaxed taking my Roadster 2.5 for a spin. Arriving home, look what the screen said: So I went 133.3 km in 49 min and consumed a total of 7.08 kWh (53 kWh/km on average) Quiz: How did I do it. I will post my answer after: a) someone else found the right answer...

I am relatively new to EVs and I am not an engineer. Rather I am an accountant. I love all the tech talk here, but much of it I can't understand. Why not have a place to post questions beginners might ask - and answers.

The German Government has proposed a tax relief package for EV and hybrid use as company cars. Non-Business use af a company car is currently taxed based on the MSRP of the car. This is considered unfair for EV granted they are more expensive in purchase price (because it includes the battery)...
