Nissan Leaf Electric Powered Cars

You are asked to “Say Hello To New Car” when you visit the official Nissan Leaf website at http://www.nissanusa.com/leaf-electric-car/index#/leaf-electric-car/index. After you read up on this popular choice for 2011 electric cars you will want to be saying hello to your new car and snapping up one of these beautifully engineered electric powered cars. The technology rich website for the Nissan Leaf has extensive video presentations to help potential buyers understand how the electric car motors work and all the nuances of this electric car from the inside out. Perhaps one of the most useful videos on the website is composed of driver results and opinions when they test drove the Nissan Leaf. This video can be found under the Performance category on the Nissan Leaf electric powered cars website. Drivers were impressed by sleekness, performance, ability to accelerate and many other driver concerns were addressed in this video.

2011 Chevrolet Volt Electric Cars

Chevrolet ranks in the top vehicles with electric car motors to watch for 2011 with their Volt model. You can read up on the Chevrolet Volt at the official Chevy website located at http://www.chevrolet.com/pages/open/default/future/volt.do, where the slogan “Electricity that goes further” leads you into further information about this promising electric car model. The Chevrolet Volt website stresses that electric energy is clean energy with zero emissions, which is what makes electric car motors such an excellent choice for environmentally conscious buyers. The Chevrolet Volt can hold a battery charge of 40 miles before it will either need to be plugged in for a recharge, or uses a small amount of gas to create its own electricity. The amount of gas used by the revolutionary electric car motors used in the Chevrolet Volt reduce emissions greatly when they are used compared to standard total gasoline powered vehicles.

2011 Coda Automotive Electric Powered Cars

At http://www.codaautomotive.com/index.html you will find the official website for the electric car from Coda where they proudly proclaim that their electric powered cars are “100% fuel deficient” because, well, they don’t use traditional gasoline fuel. The Coda website is as technology rich as the Chevrolet Volt website, but they use shock value to get their message across with key points about the dangers of Big Oil visually depicted with ominous looking gasoline pump cords coming up from a spill of black across the bottom of their landing page. However, these theatrics aren’t needed for consumers to see the true value of the Coda which was invented in America, but proudly calls it a global electric car because many of the components are made outside of the United States. If you drive a Coda, it is likely you will want a Coda which uses electric car motors and technology that can give you up to 120 miles on a charge. You will be much too happy driving this smooth vehicle to “flip gas prices the bird” as their website encourages, because you won’t even be thinking about gas anymore.

2011 Fisker Karma Electric Cars

Fisker Karma also uses some shock value imagery on its official website at http://live.fiskerautomotive.com/#!/home where a woman’s legs in black high heels grinds her heel on a gas nozzle as she steps over it with her pretty new Fisher Karma in the background. However, in this case, the Fisker Karma marketers have done something that hasn’t been seen with other electric motor cars except for the Tesla Roadster; they’ve made Fisker Karma sexy, and some would contend that the black Fisker Karma is the sexiest electric powered car on the market. No doubt this fact alone has the Fisker Karma as one of the most popular Hollywood electric powered cars. With a sleek design, this car is quite simply hot and will keep you cool as you leave the gas pump behind in your stylish tire tracks.

2011 Tesla Roadster Electric Powered Cars

The Tesla Roadster is another hot commodity on the electric cars market, and gives the Fisker Karma a run for its money on sexy, sporty functionality. The official website is located at http://www.teslamotors.com/roadster where you’re encouraged to explore the “Electric Beauty” of these electric powered cars. One of the most popular electric cars for people who have a need for speed, the Tesla Roadster can achieve 0 to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds. As far as electric car motors go, they are not all created equally. The Tesla Roadster sports a three phase AC induction motor which coupled with the single speed gear box can deliver 295 pounds per foot of torque for lots of power. You’ll see quite a few of these electric powered cars on the Hollywood scene in 2011 too and they are a solid seller on the global market. In fact, there are so many Tesla Roadster enthusiasts on the global market that they have their own community where they share driving stories, photographs and make friends in other countries. The Tesla Roadster may not create world peace, but it’s a piece of the electric powered cars world that you are going to want once you test drive.
