UPDATE: I just found this site with 30 electric cars. I like my list better because the cars I chose are more updated and they are cars that will be mass produced commuter cars. A lot of the cars in this other article are slow neighborhood cars or concept cars that will never be sold to consumers.

What about the Norwegian Think car? They are supposed to be out in 2009 and assembled in San Diego.
They get 110 mpc.
Thanks for the addition
