Electric cars
=============

This is just a quick overview about the currently available electric cars. The focus is on driving distance as priority. Not all are included. Either because they are either not available, too expensive or are just generally disliked by myself.

Considering a use-case for a family car, about 4 years after the first electric car had been bought, only small changes on the common market seem to have been happened.

The primary choice seems to be either the `Opel Ampera`, the `Nissan Leaf` or the `Renault Zoe R90 Z.E. 40`.

This would not be an easy decision. It would be probably best to have a look on all cars personally and to dig into all details to make a better founded decision.
