The Prius c is a smaller version of the hit Prius, built to better navigate urban areas. With a 50-mpg combined rating, the Prius C claims the best fuel economy of any car on its side of a plug-in EV.

The BMW i3 concept car generates output of 125 kW/170 hp and impressive torque of 250 Nm (184 lb-ft) from a standstill, allowing it to accelerates from 0 to 60 km/h (37 mph) in under four seconds and from rest to 100 km/h (62 mph) in fewer than eight.

The all-new Mitsubishi i is 100% electric;, it doesn’t even have a tailpipe. The internal combustion gasoline engine has been entirely replaced with a clean, efficient electric motor and a high-tech drive train that produce zero on-road emissions. ased on independent EPA testing, the Mitsubishi i can travel 100 KPH (62 miles) on a full charge, in typical driving conditions. Incidentally, the EPA’s MPGe ratings came in at 126 City and 99 Highway for a combined 112 MPGe—making the Mitsubishi i the most efficient electric vehicle in its class.

The Audi e-tron boasts four motors – two each at the front and rear axles. Producing 313 horsepower and 4,500 nm (3,319 lb-ft) of torque, the two-seater accelerates from 0 – 100 kph (0 – 62 mph) in 4.8 seconds, and from 60-120 kph (37 – 75 mph) in 4.1 seconds. The lithium-ion battery provides a useable energy content of 42.4 kilowatt hours to enable a range of approximately 247 kilometers (154 miles).

The 100% electric Fit features a 20kWh lithium-ion battery, three driving modes and a smart phone app to keep tabs on car battery’s state of charge.

The Ford Focus gets all of its power from an advanced 23kWh, high-voltage, lithium-ion battery system and boasts an advanced liquid heating and cooling system to regulate battery temperature and help maximize battery life.

The Chevy Volt is unique among electric vehicles because it uses two sources of energy: a 16–kWh, T–shaped lithium–ion battery that allows an EPA–estimated 56.3 kilometers (35 miles) gas-free, and an onboard gas generator that allows the car to drive up to a total of 603.5 kilometers (375 miles) on a single full tank of gas.

Twenty-eight Philadelphia public high school seniors with proven ability in math, science and engineering have been participating in a new alternative project on the edge of the Navy Yard under the aegis of GPIC.

The Greater Philadelphia Innovation Cluster (GPIC) for Energy Efficient Buildings received $129 million from the Federal Government’s Energy Regional Innovation Cluster (E-RIC) Initiative. The award included $122 million from the U.S. DOE to create an Energy Innovation Hub to develop innovative energy efficient building technologies, designs and systems.

The BCA Green Mark Scheme was launched in January 2005 as an initiative to drive Singapore’s construction industry towards more environment-friendly buildings. It is intended to promote sustainability in the built environment and raise environmental awareness among developers, designers and builders when they start project conceptualisation and design, as well as during construction.
