Kelly Blue Book, the auto research firm, named the Nissan Leaf as its best green car. Since Nissan is a second-tier car company, its larger rivals will be annoyed.
Cars that run on electricity have become a larger part of the market, as the number of consumers who want to part with gas-powered automobiles continues to grow. But gas prices are falling, and shale discoveries may drive the price lower. That eventually could erode the advantages of green car ownership.
KBB reports about the best green cars:
Just in time for Earth Day, eco-friendly drivers in the market for a new car can see which models the experts recommend in the list of 10 Best Green Cars of 2013 by the editors of Kelley Blue Book www.kbb.com, the leading provider of new and used car information.
Regarding the Leaf:
You won’t find an all-electric car that offers a better balance of range, practicality, refinement and value than the Leaf. Nissan reduced the Leaf’s starting price by $6,000 for 2013, so after the $7,500 federal tax savings, you can go all-electric for about $22,000.
