Photos: Upcoming electric cars
May 28 2008
Electric cars are the only real option for stopping carbon dioxide emissions from the tailpipe, and thus preventing global climate change. But as of today, you can't visit your local dealers' row and drive away in an electric car. Things are changing, though, and here is a selection of new electric cars we've seen at recent auto shows.

Nissan Denki Cube concept
Nissan takes its existing Cube city car and fits it with an electric power train. Japanese automakers are well-positioned to build electrics, as most have small city cars to use as a platform. According to Nissan, the Denki Cube concept gets a 100-mile range from its lithium ion battery pack, and has a top speed of 75 mph.
