One big problem of electric cars compared to cars that run on gasoline, is that most electric cars could not go very far before needing to be recharged. A gasoline car can often go before needing more fuel, but most electric cars could not go over on a charge (EV-1, RAV4-EV, etc.). The Roadster could go on a single charge. In February 6, 2018, SpaceX Falcon Heavy sent Elon Musk's Roadster into a Solar orbit.
