If you were to point to one car that started the electric car revolution, it would be hard to choose between General Motor’s EV1 and the Tesla Roadster. Its stats look quaint now, but in 2008 when it was launched it was nothing short of a transportation revolution. Electric cars were slow with limited range. This car could go over 200 miles on a charge and get to 60mph in under 4 seconds. Tesla had created the first practical and thrilling electric car. But it nearly drove the company into bankruptcy.
