Green Cars

A Transport for London initiative supporting users and buyers of electric vehicles in London.It details available cars, scooters and bikes. Car makers include Modec, Nice, Reva and Smart. Electric scooter manufacturers include Baroni, Lexola, Oxygen, Powascooter and Vectrix. On the electric bike front surprisingly there is lots of choice and prices seem very reasonable with most costing less than £1000.

Playing on the name of the popular car magazine, this site has actually nothing to do with them. It's a nice looking site that's easy to use and the info is presented in colourful keyed layouts that make picking the right car very easy once you've spent a bit of time getting used to the codings. Take a look at the newest Seat Ibiza Ecomotive that manages an amazing 74.3 mpg. It's been around since 2006 and we surprised no-one has bettered that by a long way yet.

Reviews, buyers guides and a peek at the newest concept cars. Get a vision of the future of motoring on this green motoring site. There are actually very few truly green vehicles available at the moment so the site includes all kinds of cars which many would nt regard as particularly green, like the Audi Q5 range, the best of which achieves 42 mpg. Compare that to the new Volkswagen Polo BlueMotion which manages an impressive 72 mpg.

One of a number of websites dedicated to the growing interest in green cars. Most are just speculative sites full of advertising but this one at least has some worth with comprehensive info about all aspects of picking and driving a fuel efficient and planet-friendly vehicle.
