Nissan is a company htat’s been way behind the times, some say, when it comes to the hybrid sector. There’s a reason for that. They’ve been focusing on straight electric vehicles. They call their eco-friendly vehicle the Leaf. The pricing details are a little sketchy, with the Guardian mentioning some sort of battery lease in addition to the $20-30k cost of the family-sized vehicle. Still, it’s $80,000 less than the similarly powered Tesla Roadster and with a range of 100 miles that charges up in about 20 minutes, and produces ZERO emissions from its 90mph capable electric engine, the specs scream commuter-friendly.

And you thought your hybrid was “green.”
