camry, accord, mazda6, nissan altima isn't bad. You go to kbb.com and compare cars acording to price and size, it's very useful.

You may have seen the Tesla electric sportscar http://www.teslamotors.com
*
You may have even seen the T-Zero electric sports car http://www.acpropulsion.com/ACP_FAQs/FAQ_cars.htm
*
These two cars show that it is now possible to build electric cars that can out-accelerate a Ferrari, and go 250 - 350 miles on a single charge. But both these cars are very expensive.
*
So who else is working on electric cars?
*
Would you believe China? They have to work on EVs. There won't be enough oil to support China's future economic growth.
*
I drive an old electric vehicle. I also have friends with electric vehicles. Some of them have recently been able to buy some amazing, cutting-edge EV batteries from China - example:
*

*
These batteries are better, and cheaper than the ones in those $100,000+ sportscars above. If you look at the chart, you'll see they are as cheap as lead-acid batteries, and they hold up for 1100 charges, twice as many charges as the other LI-Ion batteries on the chart.
*
Now, look at this car:
*
http://www.milesautomotive.com/products_xs200.html
*
It's a Chinese electric car, which will be imported into the USA next year. The driving range is almost as good as those sports cars above. But it only costs $28500. And that price could get a lot cheaper.

My boyfriend has a Jetta TDI (diesel) & it is great - it gets 45+ mpg highway. The Golf & Beetle TDI's get the highest mileage. The Golf would probably make a better family vehicle, as you can put strollers & soccer equipment in the large hatchback easier. Another good choice would be a Ford Focus wagon - they get good mileage.

It sounds like you really need a van or wagon. Toyota and Honda both have the best vans on the market with good gas mileage, but if you want cheaper try the Kia Sedona.
