Major automakers and their electric babies

There’s been so much hype about electric cars in the recent times because most of the major car makers across the globe have gone into manufacturing electric cars for sale.

Chevrolet is developing a plug in electric car Volt, which it aims to roll out for sale by 2010. It would be a hybrid, which means the gasoline engine would take over when the battery gets exhausted. So you don’t have to fear getting stranded in the middle of nowhere when the charge runs out.

Chrysler is also developing two hybrid electric cars for sale; they are the Jeep EV and Chrysler EV. It plans to develop a pure electric car, the Dodge EV.

BMW has come out with the Mini E, which is a two-seat, three-door hatchback car.

Nissan has a unique strategy up its sleeve. In 2010, it would be offering a fully electric car to fleet owners. If things go well, the car would be offered for sale across the country in 2012.

Mitsubishi has already started selling its small electric car iMiEV in Japan. It is now developing a commercial automobile, which would be based on the chassis for delivery vehicles like the mail truck.
