With fuel price soaring to an all-time high, many car makers have been busy seeking out alternative energy. Today, more and more cars arrived with an electric variant that runs on clean energy at zero carbon emission. While the technology might be new to the world, here are the best electric cars around.
1. BMW i3
The i3 offers a relaxed driving experience, superb energy economy and sharp handling. The i3 is truly amazing for an electric vehicle as it comes with a powerful 168hp engine that operates on RWD. When driving the i3, it is hard to differ it from the petrol variants.
2. Tesla Model S
The huge sedan has the best range for an electric vehicle. In a single charge, it can travel up to 311miles. Performance is also well-done as the car can accelerate like those petrol vehicles. However, the huge power bank on the Tesla makes it expensive to own.
3. VW e-UP!
The electric hatchback has a top speed of 80mph and running the vehicle can really offer so many saving to the owner. However, owning the e-UP! Can be really costly and the range is limited to 90miles only.
4. Nissan Leaf
After years of development, the Leaf has finally arrived and it offers a smooth power delivery and a spacious interior. However, it is also costly to own, like every other electric cars.
5. Renault ZOE
The ZOE is almost identical to the VW e-UP!. It has a decent range of 100miles on a single charge and it is the cheapest in this list. However, the recharging structure could have been of better quality.
