2012年有望走红的12款电动汽车

丰田插电式普锐斯

    电动车大战中最有意思的一对对手就是丰田普锐斯vs.雪佛兰沃蓝达。这款尚未正式发布的插电式普锐斯在纯电动模式下只能续航15英里，不及沃蓝达的40英里。不过插电普斯锐还是为电动车行业设立了一些很高的标准。首先是充电时间：插电式普锐斯可以用家用电源在三小时内完成充电，而沃蓝达则需要10小时。其次是汽油模式下的油耗：插电普锐斯每加仑可行驶49英里，沃蓝达每加仑可行驶33英里。最后是价格：插电式普锐斯的底价为32,760美元，沃蓝达的底价为39,995美元。从这些数字可以看出，普锐斯的销量可能将远超沃蓝达。

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.
