When I meet Josh Westerholt at the offices of Project 100, the Las Vegas urban mobility startup that’s funded by the Downtown Project, we decide it would probably make sense to head out into downtown Vegas to tour their project area in person. From the other room, his co-worker has an even better idea: "Take the Tesla."

Electric vehicles aren’t exactly mainstream right now, but there is a lot of anticipation building up for these automobiles. One major factor hindering growth right now is the price, new units of the popular Tesla Model S run upwards of $60,000, which is well behind most people’s budget. Tesla itself is working on a budget electric car right now which it plans on unveiling in 2015. It appears that Samsung might have its eye on electric vehicles as well, recent patent filings discovered by The Wall Street Journal certainly point to that possibility.
Samsung has filed for a wide variety of patents that range for engines to tires to onboard electronic systems. The company has confirmed that it has indeed filed for these patents in U.S. and South Korea, but it also clarifies that it currently has no plans of launching an electric vehicle in the market, despite the fact that it mentions in one of its patents that electric vehicles are likely to present a major opportunity for growth. Such is the case with patented technologies, there is no surety if the patents will ever be brought to life. Even if Samsung doesn’t launch an entire automobile, it may continue its work in the sector by creating technologies that deal with the driver’s interaction with electronic systems.

If you want an electric car with striking looks, the Tesla Model S is a very good option. However considering the fact that a new Model S runs north of $69,000, it doesn’t fall exactly in the budget bracket. Tesla certainly knows that which is why it has been dedicating time and resources towards a budget car. The company’s chief designer Franz von Holzhauzen tells Autobild that Tesla’s budget electric car is going to be unveiled in January 2015 at the Detroit Auto Show. It doesn’t have an official moniker as of now, but it referred to as the “Model E.”
It would sit in the budget bracket, with an expected price of $30,000 after tax credit. The Model E is likely to have a 200 mile battery range. The design hasn’t been revealed as yet, even the CEO Elon Musk hasn’t said much about it. Holzhauzen hints that it could have the same size as the Model S but have its own distinctive design. Tesla also has a couple of other vehicles up its sleeve that are bound to be unveiled. Its Model X luxury SUV, which will cost more than the Model S, is due next year. Moreover the company also has plans of making an electric truck which according to Holzhauzen is going to have the same chassis as the Model E.
