Tesla founder predicts the emergence of electric vehicles with range of up to 1,200 km

Billionaire Elon Musk, founder of Tesla, said that his company is working on extended-range electric vehicles on one charge the battery pack.

Currently electric sedan Tesla Model S, according to the specifications, can overcome without charging up to 430 km. The record for the Model S is a mileage of about 730 km on one charge: however, this figure was achieved when driving without sudden acceleration and braking of the route that has been routed to avoid any traffic jams, congestion and roadworks.
According to Mr. Mask, 2017 Tesla electric power reserve will reach 800 km. Moreover, roughly in 2020 can expect to see an electric car that can travel without recharging up to 1200 km.

It is clear that to achieve these indicators will be able to reserve using a more powerful battery. They will be produced at the plant Gigafactory, which will appear in the desert near the town of Reno, Nevada. Tesla partner within this project is the company Panasonic, an agreement which was concluded last year. It is planned that the plant will be put into operation in 2017.
Incidentally, the 2017 th scheduled release of "budget" electric car Model 3. It is expected that the basic version of the Model 3 will cost $ 35 000. For comparison, the cost of the current Model S sedan starts with a mark of $ 71,000.
