Newest Electric Cars Drive 800 Miles on a Single Charge, Scientists Confirm.
Geneva, Switzerland – In a development that has redefined the electric vehicle industry, engineers have confirmed today that the newest electric cars can now travel over 800 miles without recharging. According to researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, who announced the findings at a press conference, a breakthrough in solid-state battery technology has eliminated "range anxiety" for consumers. The experimental vehicle, which completed a non-stop test drive from Zurich to Berlin, used a revolutionary silicon anode and a proprietary electrolyte. Industry analysts report that sales of traditional gasoline vehicles have dropped by 40 percent since the news broke, as global automakers scramble to license the new technology. The announcement was made at the Geneva International Motor Show, where the prototype was displayed for the first time. The team stated that production models are expected to be available to the public within six months, with a starting price of $30,000.
