We guess you are interested in how well traditional dealers sell electric vehicles in the U.S. Well, it's a good question. The latest survey involved 174 participants who visited 308 car dealerships and stores that represented 13 different automakers in 10 ZEV states. Some of the volunteers even bought an EV during the process. Volunteers were asked to rate their overall experience with the dealership on a five-point scale where 1 was “very negative” and 5 was “very positive”. The results are mostly predictable – although maybe slightly better then...
All of us know that electric vehicles are cleaner, greener and more fun to drive. There are about 30 plug-in electric sports cars, SUVs and sedans available from such makes as BMW, Nissan, Chevrolet, Tesla, Ford and many other automakers. They offer a wide range of terrific options and still, their sales are only 1% of total monthly U.S. auto sales. The California Air Resources Board's Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) program requires automakers to sell increasing numbers of EVs between now and 2025. Because of the many environmental and economic benefits of electric vehicles, the ZE...
The 2017 Fiat 124 Spider is stylish, fun to drive and priced well under $30,000 for all but the top version. It's easily the best car in Fiat's four-vehicle U.S. lineup and a worthy successor to the storied original Fiat 124 Spider that debuted in November 1966. But the reincarnation of that iconic Italian sports car is built in Japan by Mazda. The two-seat convertible coupe -- powered by a turbocharged inline-four -- shares a platform with Mazda's MX-5 Miata, and the cars are built in the same plant. But the 124 Spider has a Fiat engine and transmission that together pro...
Probably all of us have already heard about the Nissan's Leaf electric vehicle. The Japanese automaker is currently introducing a hybrid version of the Murano. Taking into account that the number of produced cars is expected to be small, the Murano Hybrid model could become a collector's item. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) certified that the hybrid crossover gets a combined 29 miles per gallon for the front-wheel drive version and 28 mpg for the all-wheel-drive version. The conventional Murano gets 24 mpg in both FWD and AWD. In fact, Nissan does not have ter...
