Tesla Opens Its Patents to Encourage Electric Car Development


Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk announced his company is suspending enforcement of its patents to encourage new electric car development. Musk says he’s frustrated more car companies haven’t been able to develop better electric cars. The longest range Tesla Model S gets about 300 miles per charge while most other current electric vehicles get around 100 miles per charge. USA Today says one reason for the unusual move is that Tesla is building a new battery plant and is likely looking for other customers.
