Though electric vehicles are environmently freendly transportation, however, a combination of limited range, speed, inefficient charging methods, and higher prices have kept electric cars to appeal automotive cars in common.

Future appeal and increasing demand of electric cars push outstanding car producers to produce better perfomances. Automakers like Nissan, GM, and Daimler are now in the process of readying electric cars for the mass market. Thanks to strong demand, GM is doubling its production capacity for the highly anticipated Chevy Volt. Nissan has even taken a $1.6 billionU.S. Department of Energy loan to modify an existing US plant to manufacture the Leaf.


And some manufacturers are hoping to appeal to customers' aesthetic sensibilities. Tesla has recently hired a retail expert George Blankenship, who has worked with GAP and Apple, to bolster its retail presence.

When It'll Be Available: The Leaf will hit the market this December in limited quantities and in limited markets, but a full US market roll-out is planned for2012. The Details: The Leaf is only available with an electric motor that features a top speed of 87 mph. This motor has three levels for recharging: 120V for level one, 220V for level two and 480V for level three. At level one, it takes 20 hours to recharge fully from empty, level two takes eight hours and level three can charge to 80 percent capacity in 30 minutes. Level three charging depletes the battery’s capacity 10 percent faster, so Nissan recommends against using level three as the primary charging method. Innovative features include a small solar panel mounted on the rear spoiler that can trickle charge the auxiliary battery. The Leaf’s battery will have an 8-year 100,000 mile warranty. Price: $25,00c0 MPG: 367miles per gallon, according to Nissan, though many call this number too generous
