Electric cars are a new wave of cars that promise to be eco-friendly and efficient. These cars are not that expensive. In fact, some can be had for under $40,000.
The electric cars 2013 has seen so far are the most realistically priced yet. The average price of a car with electric propulsion varies with the model and manufacturer. However, these are the cars of the future, and it can be worth investing in one, especially as conventional fuel prices continue to escalate.
Electric Cars 2013 Top Pick
A top pick in the sub-$40,000 category has to be the Chevrolet Volt. This is a great car if you’re serious about reducing your carbon footprint. You can drive it for a full 40 miles purely on electricity, after which the four-cylinder gas engine kicks in to recharge the battery and provide propulsion. The Volt also has a video screen within the cabin that offers very good graphics for passengers to enjoy.

The Nissan Leaf is also a top pick, and is less expensive than the Chevrolet Volt. It’s a quiet car that is very responsive. The Leaf is a hatchback that can take up to five passengers. Although public charging stations are beginning to appear, you would still have to charge your electric car at home. However, the cost of electricity versus gas should be enough to convince you to switch.
The Ford C-Max Energi is another top pick for an inexpensive electric car. It delivers an impressive and efficient 47 MPG. The interior is comfortable too, and that, combined with the cheaper price tag, may win you over. The Energi charges from a 120-volt outlet and seats five people.
