Tesla, say, on electronic charge (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

care

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'charge' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'tesla say on electronic' is the wordplay.
'tesla say' becomes 'car' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another (in a down clue, letters appear on others).
'electronic' becomes 'e' (as in e-mail or e-books).
'car'+'e'='CARE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for care that I've seen before include "Prudence" , "Protective custody" , "See 16" , "Have concern or regard" , "Happy-go-lucky" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
