Nissan Leaf
Nissan Leaf

This car may be even more perfect than the Tesla because it is neither fuel-burning -- at least not directly -- nor expensive. Prices start at about $32,000 and that's before a $7,500 federal tax credit and California's own state and local incentives.

In fact, most Facebook employees can probably afford a Leaf now, even before their shares vest.
