The Renew America
Roadtrip™ is America’s first green coast-to-coast trip in an all-electric sports
car. The event will help raise awareness of renewable, sustainable, and
eco-friendly initiatives and features three electric cars, including the Tesla
Roadster. The Tesla Roadster is a $100,000 all-electric sports car. The Roadster
is a pure battery-electric vehicle with a range of 240 miles per charge, a 130
mph top speed, and goes from 0-60 mph in 3.9 seconds. In addition to the Tesla
roadster, the Renew America Roadtrip team includes Jerry Asher and his “Spirit
of DC” plug-in-hybrid Prius and a beautiful new 2009 Nissan Altima hybrid
support vehicle provided courtesy of Nissan USA. The stop is a chance to view
the all-electric Tesla Roadster and talk with the crew of the Roadtrip project,
which is demonstrating the advantages of all-electric vehicles. The team will be
visiting the area and charging up the vehicle on their way cross-country from
New York City to San Francisco.
