2012年有望走紅的12款電動汽車

豐田插電式普銳斯

????電動車大戰中最有意思的一對對手就是豐田普銳斯vs.雪佛蘭沃藍達。這款尚未正式發布的插電式普銳斯在純電動模式下只能續航15英里，不及沃藍達的40英里。不過插電普斯銳還是為電動車行業設立了一些很高的標準。首先是充電時間：插電式普銳斯可以用家用電源在三小時內完成充電，而沃藍達則需要10小時。其次是汽油模式下的油耗：插電普銳斯每加侖可行駛49英里，沃藍達每加侖可行駛33英里。最后是價格：插電式普銳斯的底價為32,760美元，沃藍達的底價為39,995美元。從這些數字可以看出，普銳斯的銷量可能將遠超沃藍達。

Toyota Prius Plug-in

????One of the most interesting rivalries in the EV wars is Prius vs. Volt. The unheralded plug-in version of the redoubtable Prius doesn't go as far on a charge as a Volt (15 miles vs. 40), but otherwise it sets some pretty high standards. One is recharge time: a quick three hours on household current vs. up to 10 hours for the Volt. Then there's efficiency while running on gasoline power: 49 mpg vs. a reported 33 mpg for the Volt. Finally, there is price: $32,760 for the Prius Plug-in vs. $39,995 for the Volt base model. With numbers like those, Prius sales could charge well ahead of the Volt.
