Electric Cars Coming To 2017 NY Auto Show and Their Range Issues

Last year I had the opportunity to attend the NY Auto Show at the Javitz Center in NYC and it was to work at the Sierra Club booth right in front of the registration area to test drive an Electric Car. This was a surreal event as you can easily drive the BMW I3, Nissan Leaf, and Soul EV around the track on the Lower Level of the Center even indoors because there is never any pollution from the EV itself.

At the moment, we have 40 to 50 miles of electric range with the 2017 Chevy Volt and 240 miles of EV Range in the Chevy Bolt.

Shelby GT350 Mustang Owners Suing Ford for Overheating Issues on the Track

The law firm Hagens Berman announced yesterday that in cooperation with Grossman Roth Yaffa Cohen, they will be representing a group of 2016 Shelby GT350 Mustang owners who have filed a class action suit against Ford Motor Company due to the fact that their muscle cars are prone to overheating transmissions and differentials – forcing the car into limp mode and putting the drivers at risk.
