### Powertrain Options: Balancing Power and Efficiency
Electric Powertrains
Electric powertrains, which rely solely on electric motors powered by batteries, are gaining traction as the ultimate solution for reducing emissions. These systems offer high efficiency and zero tailpipe emissions, aligning with global efforts to combat climate change. The Tesla Model 3, for example, provides a range of over 350 miles on a single charge and accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in under 4 seconds3. However, challenges such as battery cost, charging infrastructure, and range anxiety remain hurdles to widespread adoption.
