In the June 2016 volume of American Recycler an article titled ‘Hybrid and electric technologies compete with lower fuel prices’ was posted with the following data: “The Auto Science Group released their Auto Performance Index findings, which outlined the differences in performance levels differentiating conventional & alternate-powered cars and SUVs. Per the study, hybrid vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) & electric vehicles (EVs) outperformed the conventional combustion vehicles from an environmental view. While standard gasoline powered vehicles outperform alternatively powered vehicles from a financial standpoint.
In comparing all models for the year of 2016 cars in the US in an assessment, ASG’s study did not find a single car with a combustion engine that ranked in the top 20 spots of the Environmental Performance List. The electric Nissan LEAF was 1st place on the list with the smallest carbon footprint. On the Best 20 Price Performance list was the 2016 Nissan Versa, with the lowest costs of ownership. Only one car with an advanced-hybrid desing made the ECP–the Toyota Prius.
When analyzing for the best mix of financial & environmental performance they ranked the top five as:
- Nissan LEAF
- Ford Focus Electric
- Toyota Prius
- Toyota Prius 2 Eco
- GM Chevy Volt
The best ranking conventional vehicle was the Chevrolet Spark, with a solid total performance score just 5% behind the LEAF, which was named ASG Best All-Around car of 2016. Only 5 of the 9 SUVs with hybrid & PHEV designs made the environmental performance honors. Toyota RAV4 Hybrid, with the lowest carbon footprint of all models. The 2016 Jeep Patriot held the spot for least cost of ownership of all SUVs; the list was completed with the conventionally powered Mazda CX-3.” The full article is available here.
