Just when we thought we had reached the future with the development of electric vehicles (EVs), a new vegetable-oil-filled EV has nearly won a major race, an astounding, albeit strange, feat for humanity.
Jon Edwards took second place in the Washington Targa Cup last month, driving a TOCEVA Tesla Model 3 powered by vegetable oil, according to The Driven.
The feat was accomplished using a Biofil vegetable oil EV charger which produces 100 percent carbon-neutral fuel.

A total of three different EVs took part in a recent Bunbury Sprint event using only carbon-neutral biofuels.
In addition, the Biofil charger uses waste oil that can be re-used to charge other vehicles – as was seen by the charging of drivers Nigel Ball and Geoff Duckworth’s Tesla Model 3 Performance vehicle using waste oil at the Bunbury Sprint.
TOCEVA is made up of a combination of acronyms between Tesla Owners Club Australia (TOC) and the Australian Electric Vehicle Association (AEVA).
Tesla’s vehicles have set a number of records for speed at raceways around the world, including Laguna Seca and Buttonwillow Raceway, even competing against the legendary Rimac Nevera Hypercar.
Outside the racing world, the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y have become the most popular luxury cars in the U.S., and most at the consumer level don’t need to add vegetable oil for the extra boost.
