Uma kukhulunywa ngezimoto ezisebenza ngogesi, singathanda ukuthi wenze njalo bekungaba khona okunye okuningi Kulabo abahamba emigwaqweni yamanye amadolobha, uTesla kube nguye ovulele abanye indlela. Izimoto ezingaphezu kwe-100.000 ze-Elon Musk enkulu zibheke ukunqoba leyo migwaqo emikhulu esabalele engxenyeni enkulu yomhlaba; nalu uhlelo lwakho.
Namuhla ibhasi elisha elisebenza ngogesi selibonakele, i- Catalyst E2 Uchungechunge, egxile kwezokuthutha zomphakathi. Leli bhasi elisuka eProterra, elingumkhiqizi ohamba phambili eNyakatho Melika, selikulungele ukuhamba ezitaladini ngonyaka ozayo. Amandla amakhulu aleli bhasi ukuthi likwazi ukuhamba ngaphezu kwamakhilomitha angama-650 ngecala elilodwa, okungaphezulu kancane kwalokho okutholakala ngeTesla Model S ngamakhilomitha ayo angama-509 okuzimela.
Labo 650 amakhilomitha zingaphezu kokwanele ukumboza yonke imizila phakathi nosuku lwebhasi. Uma imoto kagesi isivele inezinzuzo zayo, imoto enkulu, njengamabhasi namaloli, inezinzuzo ezinkulu. Amabhasi omphakathi angabaqokiwe abafanele ukusizakala "ngogesi". Ngokuba nomzila ongaqagelwa, abadingi ingqalasizinda yokushaja, njengoba benomthwalo omkhulu, bavame ukupakwa ebusuku ngakho-ke kusetshenziselwa ukubakhokhisa.
Amabhasi kagesi wonga imali uphethiloli kanye nokunakekelwa, futhi amanye amadolobha athola uxhaso lokuwasebenzisa okunciphisa izindleko. Lokhu kwehlisa intengo yeCatalyst E2 Series, imvamisa ezungeze u- $ 799.000. Uma ibhasi likadizili libiza cishe ama- $ 300.000, sesivele sithola umqondo walo.
Imfihlo yebhasi likaProterra ilele ekhonweni layo loku 660 kWh isitoreji, eyanele ukuba namandla angaphezu kwamathani ayi-12 wesisindo sebhasi elingaphezu kwamamitha ayi-12 ubude. Leli bhasi lizoya emadolobheni athile ase-United States njengasePhiladelphia noma eLos Angeles.
