The Tesla Model S P100D now has the longest range of any zero-emission car, according to an assessment from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The vehicle’s energy consumption is equivalent to 98 miles per gallon and its range is 315 miles, beating Toyota’s hydrogen fuel-cell powered Mirai, which can go for 312 miles. The Tesla Model S P100D is battery-powered, with a 100 KWh pack available. The range was achieved with the performance version of the model, but Tesla Founder Tesla has said that the battery pack will soon be introduced to non-performance versions, potentially pushing the range to 330 miles.
