Summary/Abstract: The paper presents research on electric cars with an emphasis on Tesla cars. The paper aimed to get to know the development of Tesla and the innovation of their vehicles. As part of the development of their cars, range, consumption and charging play an important role, the research was focused on comparing models and finding the best car. The research found that all Tesla models, that are currently on the market, are comparable, with good range, charging time and consumption. Nowadays, however, an important issue in our lives is the pandemic, so part of the article also describes the consequences of Covid-19 on the company, in which we found that the company managed to operate profitably despite this situation. In addition to cars’ good features, it’s also important to have charging options, which we explored in this paper using a hypothetical route to various European cities and found that charging stations are the most widespread in Western Europe and that it is almost impossible to drive east.
