TOP 10 GREEN CARS – 2015 VANCOUVER AUTO SHOW

This Tuesday we had a unique opportunity to preview the Vancouver International Auto Show. This year’s show features a wide variety of electric, hydrogen and hybrid-electric vehicles. We took full advantage and we’re absolutely thrilled to see so many manufacturers putting research and development into clean transportation technologies. Almost every manufacturer had something future-friendly to offer.

With so many vehicles to choose from, we had a hard time narrowing down our top ten green cars. So we’ll focus on the electric and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. Scroll down for photos and links to our favorite production models and concepts (in no particular order).

  a green car show. I need to go to one of those
• Jonas Blomberg
  Mirai is my favourite. It showed the hydrogen naysayers to be wrong. Musk and Tesla are going to get a lot of fossil free competition!

  i prefer the research into hydrogen over electrical although it is an older technology i feel their is a higher improvement rate and can provide a highly efficient end result

  Great concept cars! The future of transportation is green!
• Jonas Blomberg
  Mirai is my favourite. In the future I would like to see hydrogen-battery hybrids.That would lower the cost of emission-free transport and join the best of the two major alternatives.

  No tesla??? Quite weird isn’t???

  Mirai won’t survived. Too complicated and hydrogen too expensive to make and too expensive to buy. So wrong. What is the point using it?? Electric is so simple and so cheap running it. It is the cheapest way and the engine is so simple. No muffler, starter, no radiater….no nothing. It is the futur.
