Two companies have recently unveiled their planned electric cars and have stirred the market with their models being more supercar than slumbercar!
Tesla Cars have just delivered their first roadster, based on a Lotus framework, whilst Fisker Automotive have released images of their Karma model. Both run close to $100,000 to buy but the financial saving from fuel, road tax, congestion charges etc. soon adds up to make these cars a very smart ethical buy. Beyond these two supercars, Smart Cars, owned by Mercedes have unveiled their own electric version of the popular Smart ForTwo town car - Smart ed (electric drive).
However, the real sleeper amongst this growing market is the Chevrolet Volt (see photo above) - a luxury futuristic-looking saloon car that will sell for approximately £20,000! This car may help finally launch electric cars to the mass-market.
