John Lily,
More and more automobile companies are taking measures to create cars that do less harm to the planet.
Here are some of the top green cars this year.
Tesla Roadster
This is an electric sports car. You can travel 220 miles before recharging the battery. The only problem?
It will cost you $ 100 000. So, until you win the lottery or happen to find a box of gold at the end of a
rainbow, let's move on to the more reasonable choices.
Aptera 2e
This electric car is much more affordable than the Tesla Roadster, with a starting price of around $ 25000.
Its electric motor runs 100 miles per charge. Unfortunately, it is currently only available in California through
a complex booking process.
Toyota Prius
At 51 miles per gallon in the city and 48 0n the highway, the Toyota Prius is one of the most fuel-efficient
cars in the world. With an annual CO2 rating of 1968 kilograms, this car holds the first place on MSN's list of
the Least Polluting Vehicles of 2009. It also has other eco-friendly features like a solar-powered ventilation (通
风) system.
Honda Civic Hybrid (混合动力车)
The Honda Civic Hybrid is competitive with the Toyota Prius when it comes to fuel efficiency. It gets 40
miles per gallon in the city and 45 on the highway. It also has the second- lowest annual CO2 figure, releasing
2160 kilograms in a year.
Honda Insight Hybrid
With a base price of just $20 000, the Honda Insight Hybrid is the least expensive Hybrid on the market
today. Coming just after the Honda Civic and Toyota Prius in terms of pollution, this fuel-efficient vehicle gets
40 miles per gallon in the city and 43 on the highway.
Besides all these, Toyota Camry Hybrid is also a good choice.
