Hot on the heels of the Emerg-e sports car concept showcased at the 2012 Geneva motor show, Infiniti has graced the New York event with a family man's EV: the LE Concept.

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Honda has recreated a Beat-style compact electric sports car at the 2011 Tokyo motor show - this stunning EV-STER concept car. It's tiny, at just 3570mm long and 1500mm wide.
