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...

Legendary consumer safety advocate Ralph Nader said that the cars are much safer, less polluting, modestly f...
As it was revealed after, US markets didn't do much in Friday's trading session. Weakness in US retail sales is already being felt, from an economic perspective the retail sales data wasn't to healthy. Sales for the month of July were flat, against expectations of a 0.4% gain. Excluding car sales, retail spending dropped 0.3%. The US car market looks like is betting it will never get to the end of it. There are always reasons for “data-dependent” to hold off. That is the reason why stocks are trading at-all time highs, even while the economy limps along like ...
Last year the U.S. auto sales set an all-time record for the first time in 15 years. The slow but steady economic recovery, low interest rates and depressed gas prices managed to make the 2015 economic environment a carmaker's dream.
