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...
We have told you about the Louisiana Disaster Which Killed People and Destroyed Houses and Vehicles, and now the dealerships association of the state announced how they are fighting the catastrophe back! Louisiana Dealers Association President admitted that 60 up to 80 auto dealerships got closed in the state due to the flood. The staff can't literally make it to the store, and of course people who can't even get out of their own apartments and houses. People aren't just dealing with losing their homes but also with losing their vehicles. Some offices and dealerships...

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...
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. Unfortunately, this dream may morph into a full-fledged nightmare in just a few short years at least for members of the industry establishment like Ford Motor Co. (ticker: F), General Motors Co. (GM), Honda Motor Co. (HMC) and Toyota Motor Corp. (TM) If we take a look at the U.S. vehicle sales in 2016 thus far, we'd see no particular reason to p...
