There is an overwhelming sense that we, as a global society, are on the brink of a few great things, namely clean transportation for the masses. The Prius has reigned supreme in the world of hybrid cars, and Tesla’s Model S is a kind of posh version, but there has never been a wide selection of hybrid cars like there are for every other engine type. 2015 will see a change in that. BMW is planning to release a plug-in 3-series. Audi, Mercedes, Volvo, and Mitsubishi are all slated to release hybrid cars in 2015, and Chevy and Tesla will release new models of they’re most energy efficient products. Looks like 2015 will be the year of the hybrid car.
