The Top 3 Environmentally Friendly Cars Celebrities Drive
Everybody seems to think that when someone is a celebrity, he immediately drives a flashy car. Of course, in most of our minds, a flashy car equals a gas guzzler, or an aesthetically impressive car, that hardly does anything beneficial for our environment. Well, we’ll be glad to prove you wrong! Not all celebrities are of that mindset! In fact, there is a growing number of celebrities that choose to drive green, or environmentally friendly cars. So, this begs the questions, who are they, and more importantly, what kinds of cars are the buying? We took a look around, and came back with these top 3 green car celebrity picks!
- The BMW Hydrogen 7- When we talk about gas guzzling cars, nothing could be further from that than the MBW Hydrogen 7. As it’s name suggests, this car runs on hydrogen instead of gasoline. Nor is this a fuel cell car that runs on an electric motor! This really is a car that is only powered with hydrogen. Because of that fact, the only emission that one gets from this baby is water! Now here’s the catch. This car is very rare, as only a limited number were made. What’s more, not everyone can own this car since ownership is an invite-only deal. If you are curious, some of the celebrities that have actually been invited and have accepted ownership of this car are Will Ferrell, Angelina Jolie, Jeremy Piven, Edward Norton, and Jay Leno.
- The Telstra Roadster – You really can’t escape the match between celebrities and sports cars. Somehow, the two really make for a good- looking combination! Well, for celebrities who seek to contribute their share for the environment, the Telstra Roadster is a sound solution. It is actually one of the few companies that has attempted to make a sports car fully electric. Now, these efforts do not come cheap, since owning one of these cars may set one back by a costly $100,000. However, this car can run about a hundred miles before needing a recharge! This has impressed stars like George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Will I Am, and Jay Leno to purchase one model each!
- The Toyota Prius – How can we forget the car that started it all? The Toyota Prius served as a pioneer for the green car! It is also very affordable too, averaging about $23,000 in cost, making it a good investment if you look at it through a car insurance standpoint. Despite it’s very affordable and therefore approachable price, there are plenty of celebrities that are not ashamed to be seen driving it–prime examples are Julia Roberts, Leonardo Di Caprio and Ryan Gosling. Hey, if the Toyota Prius is good enough for these big stars, then they are certainly good enough for us too!
Quite frankly, it’s very refreshing to know that celebrities care about the environment in their own way. Hopefully, this will help to up the green car movement. When others find out that celebrities take the effort to invest in green cars, maybe they will consider doing so too!
