Nittany Lion tests the future of electric vehicles

Students involved in the EcoCar2 Challenge recently tried a Tesla Model S on for size -- and so did the Nittany Lion.

"Look, Ma! No engine!" On a recent visit to Penn State's MorningStar Solar Home, the Nittany Lion discovered firstpaw the advantages afforded by an electric power train.
