插入式电动汽车、普锐斯杀手，不发出臭味的柴油。汽车制造商正在进行一场竞赛，以获得它们的绿色环保标志。
插入式电动汽车
日产Leaf
这一完全插入式电动汽车通过240伏特的的充电装置能够在七小时内完成充电。该车25780美元的价格与其它非电动车相比很有竞争性。
日产Leaf通用汽车Chevy Volt
它装备了一台能跑40英里的电动发动机和一个天然气发动机。获得年度汽车趋势车型，使用标准的120伏特充电装置。在扣除联邦税款减免后，车的零售价为33500美元。
通用汽车Chevy Volt本田 Fit EV
本田飞度运动型的全电动车型要等到2012年才上市，但本田已承诺该款车将成为日产LEAF的可怕竞争对手。它将装备一次充电最大行驶里程达160公里的发动机。
本田 Fit EV混合动力车
丰田普锐斯
普锐斯仍是混合动力车节省能源最出众的车型，在城市的时速为82公里，在高速公路的时速是77公里。现在的价格只要23050美元。
丰田普锐斯福特Fusion
这款混合动力型在城市的时速为65公里，公路时速为57公里，全驱驾驶，中等规模的间距、内饰很舒适。它在只使用电动发动机的情况下的时速可达75公里。
福特Fusion大众Touareg
如果你手上有60565美元的话，Touareg可能是你的选择。
大众Touareg柴油
大众 Golf TDI
20和30多岁的人非常喜欢这款掀背涡轮增压车型。对于那些必须忍受每天开车上下班，但又想获得赛车感觉的人来说，它是一个非常棒的选择。
大众 Golf TDI奥迪 A3 TDI
与大众GOLF使用同样的平台和发动机，进行了更豪华的升级，价格只要30250美元。
奥迪 A3 TDIBMW 3 系
我们将335D列为第三名，是因为它昂贵的价格：44150美元。它在高速公路的时速可达57公里，加满油可以跑933公里。
BMW 3 系The Best New Electric Plug-in Cars
Plug-in cars. Prius killers. Diesels that don’t stink. Automakers are in a race to earn their green stripes。
The electric car has traveled a long and bumpy road. Remember the EV1, which General Motors rolled out in the mid-’90s and literally scrapped a few years later? Well, the electric car has been resuscitated—and is here to stay. You can thank Uncle Sam for that: the government mandated that carmakers cut tailpipe emissions by 5 percent each year from 2012 to 2016, and boost fuel economy fleetwide by an average of seven miles per gallon. In other words, auto companies can’t wiggle out of it this time。
And so, this month early adopters will begin plugging in a new generation of electric wheels and thumbing their noses as they zoom by the corner gas station. These babies aren’t just for vegans who compost and watch reruns of An Inconvenient Truth. Anyone who grumbles at $3.25-a-gallon gas will be impressed by the fuel cost: as little as $1.50 to $2.75 to fully juice up an electric car, depending on the size of the battery. You may still have to pay at the pump: some electrics are hybrids that switch to gasoline once the battery runs low. But for most city driving, you can get around on a single charge. You’ll also need to install a dedicated 240-volt charger in your garage, which can cost a couple of thousand bucks. (The one exception is the Chevy Volt, which plugs into a simple 120-volt outlet but requires 10 hours to fully charge。) Because electric cars aren’t for everyone, automakers are offering a dizzying array of other ecofriendly cars that don’t run on electricity but still give great gas mileage and green cred. There are clean diesel-powered vehicles that have nothing in common with the smoke-belching monsters of the ’70s. And almost every car company has come out with its own hybrid to give the Toyota Prius a run for its money. In fact, there are so many green choices for 2011, it’s hard to figure out which way to turn. To help you navigate the terrain, we’ve picked the top performers in each category。”
Plug-Ins
Nissan Leaf
This fully electric plug-in would be right at home in the Jetsons' garage. It charges completely in seven hours with a 240-volt connection. And it's seriously cool inside, with animated displays and fabrics made from recycled plastic bottles. A $349 monthly lease makes the car's $25,780 price (after a $7,500 federal tax credit) competitive with non-electrics。
Chevy Volt
Worried you'll run out of juice in the middle of the expressway? Then choose the Volt, which pairs a 40-mile electric motor with a gas engine. Named Motor Trend Car of the Year, it's spunky and powers up on a standard 120-volt outlet. The lease is a steal at $2,500 down and $350 a month for 36 months, with a retail price of $33,500 after the federal tax credit。
Honda Fit EV
The all-electric version of Honda's sporty Fit isn't available until 2012, but it promises to be a formidable competitor to the Nissan Leaf, with a 100-mile-range motor, seating for five, and a spacious hatchback. Using technology from Honda's CR-Z sport hybrid, the motor can operate in econ, normal, or sport mode to either maximize energy efficiency or boost power。
Hybrids
Toyota Prius
Still the mack daddy, the Prius remains the fuel-economy leader for gas hybrids, with 51mpg city, 48mpg highway. And given there's so much competition in the hybrid market, drivers no longer have to pay a premium: you can get into one for $23,050. A hybrid plug-in version will arrive in two years, but will its 13-mile electric range be too little, too late?
Ford Fusion
This hybrid offers generous mileage--41mpg city, 36mpg highway--coupled with all-wheel drive, midsize roominess, and interior creature comforts. Seats are made of 85 percent recycled materials. Unlike some other hybrids that operate on electric at parking-lot speeds, the Fusion is capable of maintaining 47mph powered solely by the electric motor。
Volkswagen Touareg
Even tree-huggers like to haul boats and trailers from time to time. But the gas required can be guilt-inducing. What's a recreation lover to do? If you have $60,565 lying around, the Touareg may be your answer. It's heavy-duty but swanky, with 18-inch wheels, a rearview camera, and bi-xenon headlights, and it uses about 4mpg less fuel than its gas equivalent。
Diesels

Volkswagen Golf TDI
This hatch turbo is hot with 20- and 30-somethings. It looks slick, is small enough to park in tight city spaces, and offers sporty Teutonic handling for a $23,435 price that's lower than other German brands. It's powered by a fuel--efficient 2.0-liter, four-cylinder diesel engine that gets 30mpg city, 42mpg highway. It's an excellent choice for drivers who have to endure a long daily commute but want a sports-car feel。
Audi A3 TDI
Using the same platform and engine as the VW Golf (Audi is VW's luxury brand)， this car gets equally impressive mileage, but comes with posh upgrades like standard leather seating for just $30,250. If the A3 is too small for you, wait for Audi's hybrid versions of its midsize A6, full-size A8, and Q5 SUV in 2011 and 2012. Audi will also release a plug-in hybrid in 2014.
BMW 3 Series
We've ranked the 335d third only because it's pricey: $44,150. This diesel gets 36mpg highway and about 580 miles to the tankload. And with an in-line six-cylinder, 265hp engine that produces a massive 425 foot-pounds of torque, power is at the ready. Stay tuned for next summer's release of an all-electric 1 Series, a sprightly four-seat sport coupe with a 100-mile range。
