Green cars drive into green Shanghai Expo

A brighter vehicle life in 2030 was shown in SAIC-GM Automotive Exhibit Hall in World Expo: "zero emission", zero traffic accident; away from dependence on petroleum, away from traffic jam; automatic drive, even the blind are able to drive -- the green cars shown and running in Expo park make us believe that maybe all of them will be true.

I. April 11, the Expo Park public-traffic program was published. In the Expo Park, two bus lines among of the three adopted pure electric buses, and another one used super capacitance bus, meanwhile, two tourist lines were equipped with hydrogen fuel tour bus. After the Expo Park was open, bus lines would be added to 6 from the current 3 ones, and the total running distance reached 19 kilometers.

On the same day, the concept vehicle, "Leaf", researched and developed independently by SAIC, made its world debut in SAIC-GM Automotive Exhibit Hall in the Expo Park. Besides fresh design, "Leaf", with a giant "green leaf" on its head, steps across "zero emission" and realizes "negative emission", and shows people the brighter city traffic life in 20 years.

All about green cars - and not just expensive ones

I love how my Tesla goes from 0 to 60 mph in less than 4 seconds. All right, technically, it's not my Tesla since it costs $109,000, but it was for 15 minutes Friday.

I had a chance to test-drive the all-electric car, courtesy of Tesla Store Chicago. The two-seater sports roadster resembles a vintage Porsche with one big exception - it runs on a 990-pound battery with a 245-mile range per charge.

It's an odd experience driving a car with a single-speed gearbox, meaning you don't feel the gears shifting, but it's easy to get used to. The Tesla has a regenerative brake system that kicks in when you ease off the accelerator, which slows down the vehicle eliminating the need for excessive pumping.

And the 0 to 60 feature? As good as a roller coaster.

Tesla's coming out with a sedan priced around $50,000 in 2012 with similar features - I can just see the acceleration factor coming into play at the mall parking lot.

Typical buyers range from collectors to sports car fanatics to people who want an alternate fuel vehicle, Tesla Store Chicago General Manager Dustin Krause said.
