Electric vehicle market Tesla Motors said it is updating its Model S electric car with an aim to help ease drivers' concerns about running out of battery charge.

Tesla also hinted that in near future, drivers can take their hands off the wheel altogether. Latest update of Tesla will plan the best route to a destination driver's based on the location of charging stations. Tesla said that it will guide the car to available spots to charge.

The car will give warning to drivers if battery power is low before they drive beyond an area where they can charge. Tesla first achieved widespread attention following their production of the Tesla Roadster, which is the first fully electric sports car. Tesla’s second vehicle is the Model S, which is a completely electric luxury sedan.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk said that the company is also working on an automatic steering feature n test drives between San Francisco and Seattle. According to the company, the feature would enable automatic, hands-free driving on a highway with well-marked lanes. There is a possibility that feature might be added with another software update about three months from now.

Tesla that also markets electric powertrain components said that the Model S has ability to travel up to 270 miles on a single battery charge. The company will update all Model S sedans globally at no cost and more than 50,000 Model S sedans are there on road. The new software will also be added to the company's Model X SUV. This new model will go on sale later this year.

''Range is generally one of the issues people have about electric cars, and it is an important thing to address really emphatically”, said Musk.
