The link above takes you to a website that explores the most affordable electric cars of today. In the past, it was extremely unreasonable for the average American to even consider getting an electric vehicle. But as sustainable energy becomes more popular, electric vehicles have been getting more affordable. The different brands include Ford, Hyundai, Volkswagen, Nissan, Honda, and more. Electric vehicles are a great idea for people who do not have to drive very long distances and who have a little room in their budget for raised energy costs (if they charge their car at home).

These vehicles are great options for people who really want to reduce their carbon footprint. Although the cars themselves are not run on the burning of fossil fuels, the electricity that is used to charge these vehicles is most likely still produced by the burning of fossil fuels. This is a huge step in the right direction for the renewable energy movement. However, until we stop relying on fossil fuels as our main source of electricity, these vehicles are still dependent on nonrenewable sources for the time being.
