  12. Tesla Roadster

  13. 6,831 Lithium Ion batteries (laptop) Each cell is independent 100,000 mile life expectancy Non-hazardous waste Recyclable Accounts for $20,000 of the cost of the vehicle Tesla RoadsterBattery Technology

  14. Battery Cost

  15. Tesla Roadster Energy Efficiency

  16. Tesla Roadster Energy Efficiency

  17. Per Mile Cost • At $.06 US per KWh, a battery-powered car costs $.02-$.03 per mile on grid electricity Tesla Roadster cost is calculated using average winter/summer PG&E schedule E-9 off-peak “rate A” tariff, as of March 1, 2007.

  18. Per Mile Cost Comparison

  19. Tesla Roadster Energy Efficiency- Solar “…the panels produce about $3,200 worth of transportation fuel plus about $600 worth of home energy, for a total of about $3,800 per year.”- Martin Eberhard

  20. Tesla RoadsterMaintenance • 12,000 miles/12 months • Reduced Maintenance • No motor oil or oil filters to change • No smog equipment to check • No air filters to replace • No power steering fluids to refill

  21. Tesla Business Model • Electric vehicle technology without sacrificing performance or style. • Competitive price point with other “supercars”. • High end technology can be optimized and reused on more accessible vehicles. • Plans for WhiteStar sedan are in the works.

  22. Obstacles • Start-up car company • Lithium Ion battery costs • Range concerns • Price and consumer acceptance • Market
