Fastest Zero Emission Vehicle under $15,000

The Zap Xebra car may not be fast enough to take the highway, but this is not a neighborhood electric vehicle. Technically the Xebra is classified as a motorcycle because it has three wheels, which means that it does not have to comply with all the safety regulations as a car. Still, the Xebra is fully enclosed and the driving experience is much more like driving a conventional car than a motorcycle. The vehicle has a top speed of 40 mph and can go about 25 miles on a charge. The Xebra uses sealed lead-acid batteries, which should last about 3 years and cost $1200 to replace (6 x $200). The design of the vehicle might make you think of the old VW Beatle from the 1960's. This unique style helps the vehicle have that environmentally friendly look that tells people that you are driving a non-gasoline car. Obviously the number one reason to drive this vehicle is because it is very efficient and does not use any fossil fuels. Apparently the Xebra has a 160 MPG gas equivalency! This means that driving a Xebra will help the United State become independent from foreign oil, help national security, help fight global warming, and save consumers money by switching to a more affordable energy source. Also, the Xebra has an affordable price tag of just over 10K, which means it is a lot less money than a GM Yukon. In fact, for about the same amount of money as a Yukon you could buy a Prius and a Xebra, and then you would basically have a plug-in hybrid with an all electric range of over 20 miles and your overall mileage would be much better.
