Who has the time or patience to count, not to mention read, up to 100? So we’ve taken the trouble to squeeze down Popsci’s 100 best list to a more manageable 10. Enough to read while still pretending to work.
Electric cars might be beautifully quiet, but they lack the aural balls of a V8 and pose a safety risk to pedestrians. That’s why next year’s Nissan Leaf will have a whirring sound reminiscent of a Bladerunner Police spinner.
The LEAF may be compensating for the lack of a tailpipe with 30 minute “quick charges” and the ability to go for miles and miles on a single charge (100 miles (160km) to be exact), but hey, it’s eco-friendly.
