Nissan Leaf
Nissan Leaf: There's the
Tesla Roadster and several three-wheeled electric vehicles for sale, but so far getting a purely electric-powered car to production with a standard car's features at a price the general public can afford has eluded the industry. Until the
Nissan LEAF, that is. Due for launch in the U.S., Japan and Europe by late 2010, the LEAF guarantees a range of over 100-miles on a single charge in a practical mid-size
hatchback bodystyle.
Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid
Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid: The plans for this first factory-built plug-in Prius are very modest. Only about 500 vehicles will be built, so
Toyota can gather real-world data on how drivers actually use plug-in
hybrids. The first users will be selected
commercial fleets; 150 will go to Europe, and the same number to the U.S. market, with first deliveries starting by the end of this year.
Toyota hasn't committed to a date when retail customers will be able to get their hands on a factory plug-in Prius, although 2012 would fit the rough timeline it has discussed in the past.
