http://www.gizmag.com The Tesla Roadster has set a new distance record for a production electric vehicle by traveling 313 miles (501km) on a single charge. The milestone took place during the 2009 Global Green Challenge in Australia where eco-friendly vehicles have been battling it out over a formidable 1800 mile course. The distance achieved is well above the 244 mile range Tesla quotes in its specs... and on top of that, the electric sportscar reportedly had 3 miles worth of charge left in its batteries when it finished the record breaking run.en gizmag.com http://www.gizmag.com/tesla-roadster-record-electric-car-single-charge/13220/#comment-74212 http://www.gizmag.com/tesla-roadster-record-electric-car-single-charge/13220/#comment-74212 Tue, 16 Aug 2011 15:25:47 -0500 http://www.gizmag.com/tesla-roadster-record-electric-car-single-charge/13220/#comment-12826 http://www.gizmag.com/tesla-roadster-record-electric-car-single-charge/13220/#comment-12826 Thu, 07 Jan 2010 13:32:31 -0600 http://www.gizmag.com/tesla-roadster-record-electric-car-single-charge/13220/#comment-9886 http://www.gizmag.com/tesla-roadster-record-electric-car-single-charge/13220/#comment-9886 Sat, 31 Oct 2009 02:05:32 -0500 http://www.gizmag.com/tesla-roadster-record-electric-car-single-charge/13220/#comment-9883 http://www.gizmag.com/tesla-roadster-record-electric-car-single-charge/13220/#comment-9883 Fri, 30 Oct 2009 22:09:53 -0500 http://www.gizmag.com/tesla-roadster-record-electric-car-single-charge/13220/#comment-9862 http://www.gizmag.com/tesla-roadster-record-electric-car-single-charge/13220/#comment-9862 Fri, 30 Oct 2009 06:30:18 -0500 http://www.gizmag.com/tesla-roadster-record-electric-car-single-charge/13220/#comment-9844 http://www.gizmag.com/tesla-roadster-record-electric-car-single-charge/13220/#comment-9844 Thu, 29 Oct 2009 10:10:28 -0500 http://www.gizmag.com/tesla-roadster-record-electric-car-single-charge/13220/#comment-9835 http://www.gizmag.com/tesla-roadster-record-electric-car-single-charge/13220/#comment-9835 Thu, 29 Oct 2009 08:41:39 -0500 http://www.gizmag.com/tesla-roadster-record-electric-car-single-charge/13220/#comment-9820 http://www.gizmag.com/tesla-roadster-record-electric-car-single-charge/13220/#comment-9820 Thu, 29 Oct 2009 04:42:02 -0500 http://www.gizmag.com/tesla-roadster-record-electric-car-single-charge/13220/#comment-9811 http://www.gizmag.com/tesla-roadster-record-electric-car-single-charge/13220/#comment-9811 Thu, 29 Oct 2009 04:31:34 -0500 http://www.gizmag.com/tesla-roadster-record-electric-car-single-charge/13220/#comment-9799 http://www.gizmag.com/tesla-roadster-record-electric-car-single-charge/13220/#comment-9799 Thu, 29 Oct 2009 00:33:04 -0500
