Hi and welcome to our "electric car" information site.. Things are going fast in E-car land, and a lot of things are happening...

That's why here you'll find interesting info about the developing of the "all electric cars". But not only pure electric vehicles will get their spot, also the plug-in hybrid cars will have a place.

The pure electric vehicle companies have hard times now. There's a lot of competition fro the big guy's, and most of the pure e-car makers are teaming up with an other company ( to survive).

Most of the e-cars are for daily city use. That's where they are fitting the best. We also will show the more futuristic models, or better said, the prototypes.

This are cars that never will comes on the market, but are also quit interesting to watch and to learn from.

Some of the e-car models that we going to show you are getting already a lot publicity, but are still not on the market. But for the most of them release date is set.

Today, the majority of the car makers develop new electric vehicles, and so each year they come with better electric vehicles. Also an important factor are the rising sales units. This means also that there's money to keep developing new cars..

It seems that the future is looking bright for the pure electric car.

The reasons why we need more e-cars on our streets are simple: We all want to have a greener and cleaner environment.

Also, we need to lower down the co2 emissions this to "fight climate change" as it is state in the global warming agreement , the "Kyoto protocol".

Third reason to purchase an electric car is this: In most western countries,fuel prices are going sky high and still rising....

Of course,electric vehicles are not perfect and still have a long way to go. But for cleaner air ,and a better environment that's why we are doing it for. With introducing the electric car in the city, we will, and can make living in the cities more attractive again.

The last few years we noticed that major car companies, from Europe to the United States and Japan, finally got the message that something had to be done to get a greener image ( perhaps under pressure of governments and the Kyoto protocol), and each one of them has come with his own 100% e-car project.

If you not aware of the names of some of these cars...Here are names to keep in mind..

• For Europe : Renault ZE, Peugeot IOn, BMW with the ActiveE and the i3 ,i5 and i8. Also Citroen with the C-zero

• The United States and Canada: Chevrolet Volt, Zenn Car company, electric car maker Zap , Tesla motor company...

• From India we have Reva motor company .

• From Japan, Mitsubishi with the Imiev, Nissan with the Nissan Leaf, Toyota has also a pure Electric, but is better known for it's hybrid cars: Prius and Auris Hybrid.

Of course there are many more models and brands to explore, but we leave this for the other chapters that will come on this website.

There are probably many reasons enough to explain why an electric vehicle will become more and more important.

But let us keep it with the most important reason: A heart for a greener,and a sustainable world. That's it folks..
