Although you may not be seeing many on the road as of yet, there are far more electric cars coming our way than you might imagine.
What is especially interesting about EVs, other than the fact that they do not produce any emissions, is that they will come in all shapes, sizes, and vocations. We've driven some that'll hit 100 km/h in less time than it takes you to read this sentence. We've spent time behind the wheel of vehicles that will be as green as they will be utilitarian. One thing is certain: all will be perfectly viable in an urban setting.
In the last two years alone, Auto123.com has tested and evaluated more than a dozen of these vehicles including some test mules. We have also taken a few funky hybrids that are worth mentioning for a drive. Many of these cars are not yet on the road anywhere and are still in experimental stages or are available only in limited test fleets in, where else, California.
So, if you're into alternative means of motivation, the following cars will interest you. We know that we're very excited at the prospect of more of these cars hitting our roads in the very near future and you should be as well.
Here's a recap.
