    While the biggies of the automobile industry like Honda and Ford have been scratching their heads all this while, trying to put together an ideal eco-friendly car for the urban market, Chinese manufacturer and owner of Volvo, Geely, came up with a tiny little car that could work just right for city use! This little car showed up at the Shanghai Motor Show and managed to steal a sack full of hearts with people admiring its practicality and functionality. The impressive car called the Geely McCar is available as both, an electric and a plug-in hybrid. The 12kWh battery version has a range of 93 miles, a top speed of 52mph and takes six hours to recharge while the 8kWh plug-in hybrid goes 31 miles on electric power and 373 miles on petrol and battery, with a top speed of 80mph, taking two hours to recharge.
