The search begins . . .

I'm looking for the greenest car available for less than 10k.

It has to have a range of 60 miles (electric is an option).

Needs to have 4 seats.

And be as green as possible.

Nothing else matters . . . I don't care about cool or fast.

I've already started the search and so far come up with the Toyota Aygo with 109 g/km of C02 but sure there's got to be something better out there. The only electric car I've found is the g-wiz but it doesn't have the range I need.

Thanks in advance,

Edward

How about this? And you could do deliveries as well.

Having trawled all the main 'what car' sites, it's so depressing that none have any mention of environmental impact. They list things like rear kneeroom but not C02 emission.

Took me ages to find any C02 data on the C2 thingy . . . 141 g/km

If it had a range of 60 miles and 4 doors and didn't cost $24,500, then yes. I have no problem with that - do you?

Depends who your electricity supplier is. I've already switched to a green supplier and hope to have solar panels installed soon. And the 'well-to-wheel' emission of an electric car is still only 25g/km.
