Electric and hybrid cars are an option for those who want to save on fuel while having a positive impact on the environment, but they typically cost much more than traditional fuel-powered automobiles. That’s enough to push some drivers to consider investing in an electric vehicle. However, the average cost for an electric vehicle is almost $10,000 more than traditional gasoline vehicles, Kelley Blue Book, an automotive research company, said. If you’re shopping for a new car but still feel reluctant about purchasing an electric or hybrid vehicle, try one of these top-rated, fuel-efficient cars instead, according to the online vehicle dealer Cars.com.
