Everywhere we turned, another company was unveiling another electric car or hybrid vehicle. It seems everyone is clamoring to get a piece of the pie that the Chevy Volt and Nissan Leaf [14] have been monopolizing for the past year.
We saw eco cars unveiled with a variety of drivetrains – from the efficient engine of the Jetta Hybrid [9] to the Ford Fusion Energi [12]‘s plug-in hybrid technology, to the all-electric power of the Smart For-Us [11].
