Top 20 green cars we wish we could buy today, Number 1: The Chevy Volt
Filed under: EV/Plug-in, Hybrid, Chevrolet, GM
What more can possibly be written about the Chevy Volt? Plenty, as a matter of fact, and we're looking forward to finding out as much as we can along the way. While some (perhaps rightly so) hold a grudge against the General for "killing the electric car," we're all fully aware that the Volt could wind up doing just the opposite. While the debate continues to rage on between Toyota and GM regarding parallel vs. serial hybrids and the batteries that will power them, the consumer stands to be the beneficiary with the best set of choices that the newly-emerging green car industry has ever had.

what about the I-MIEV and VW UP. They at least deserve a better spot that vaporware from ZAP.

Could you combine this top 20 to a single page? I would love to share this list with my not-so-green friends but want to make it easy for them to see the future.

Yawn, typical.
Where's the Mitsubishi imev or whatever it's called that was a plugin in NY a few weeks ago? Not even on the list?
And no hydrogen cars? Like Honda or BMW?

Why in the world are people still yammering on about the Mitsubishi iMev. How many range anxiety killed cars need to be brought up before it crystallizes in people's brains that the pure BEV with existing battery range is a flawed design.
That's why the Volt is #1 on my list too. Fisker would be right up there if cost was no issue.
