Electric cars 2010- It's that time of year when everyone looks back on the old and looks forward to the new one. We thought We would take part. So here it is-the electriccarsite round-up of what happened (what was hot and what's not) in the world of electric cars in 2010.

Nissan unveil plans to build the Nissan leaf in the United Kingdom from 2013 onwards in Sunderland. The pre-election budget hints of assistance in support of the automotive industry develop electric cars.
