Originally published on Gas 2. The Toyota Prius has been the perennial best seller for green-minded drivers, but the Tesla Model S is stealing buyers from the Japanese hybrid.

The jury is out on the BMW i3. Some love it (count me in), while some very much don’t. The BMW i8 is a cool electrified sports car, but many point out that it doesn’t stack up to the Model S despite costing nearly twice as much. Nonetheless, BMW seems more electric-oriented than most auto
