Electric cars here for the best 10 TechRadar

Electric car or electric car is not it? Probably the question lends itself to many answers. For those who have started thinking of abandoning the traditional gasoline engine, here's a quick ranking compiled by independent TechRadar UK magazine. com. Were considered the main zero-emission vehicles that are currently on the market or are being addressed.

The evaluation criteria take into account performance but also autonomy, essential for such vehicles. The Ampera (which is sold in the U.S. under the name of Chevrolet Volt) is in first place for its two engines that provide a range of over 500 km: 50 in electric mode and 482 with gasoline, which does not act directly on the wheels but recharge as the engine emissions to zero.

Other electric vehicles already on the road, Nissan Leaf. E 'can cover 161 km with one charge. As with all other plants, however, autonomy depends on driving style and the possible use of lights or heating / cooling air. Can be recharged in eight hours or 30 minutes with a magazine attached.

Same autonomy of the Leaf. The only difference is that the Focus is equipped with water cooling and air with the result that (theoretically) the battery should last longer. Can be recharged in about 3 hours with a charger attached. It should debut in 2011. The Coda EV has a range of 145 km.

Focus uses the same charger. It will be sold by year-end. The electric sports car Mercedes has a 571 hp engine which allows acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h in 3.7 seconds. There are 2 electric motors per axle. The company has not yet announced the date and the autonomy of the (possible) launch.

This model, which is called the Honda Jazz in Europe, will be available in dealerships starting next year. It will have three driving modes, depending on location and traffic conditions. The Aptera electric car is probably the second least conventional of all, and probably the less aesthetically pleasing.

This 3-wheel weighs 816 pounds and has a range of 160 km. Coming later this year. Little is known of this zero emissions. Except modeled forms of C30. It is designed for urban use, and can travel from 145 km on a single charge. E 'with a good recovery, which allows it to go from zero to 100 km / h in 10 seconds and a half.

It 's a two-seater like the Smart Fortwo. It can travel 160 km on a single charge, which can be reached in just 5 hours, given the small capacity of the lithium ion battery. The launch should be imminent and the final price will be among the lowest, since it does not exceed € 22,000, which will be removed from any ecoincentivi.

The Tesla Roadster 2.5 is the first electric sports car. On sale since last summer, has a 288 hp engine. E 'with an efficient battery that allows for a range of 400 km.
