Electric Roadster Trendy with the Famous

RENEE MONTAGNE, host:

There might not be any big name plug-in electric cars available, but there are some big names who drive them, names like Arnold Schwarzenegger and George Clooney. They've both bought the all-electric roadster sports car, our last word in business today. The roadster goes from zero to 60 miles per hour in four seconds. Electric motorcycles can go even faster - up to 160 miles per hour.
