Source: AJC

Electric car maker Tesla Motors Inc. plans to offer a limited-edition version of its model S sedan next year that will have a battery mighty enough to keep the car going for 300 miles on a single charge. That's much farther than the Nissan Leaf, which can go up to 100 miles on a charge. The Leaf went on sale late last year. Tesla VP for worldwide sales George Blankenship said in a Web posting Monday that Tesla plans to sell a Model S Signature Series with the 300-mile battery in North America starting in mid-2012. Tesla will sell versions of the all-electric Model S with 230-mile and 160-mile batteries later in 2012.
