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.

After discussing how the all-electric Chevrolet Corvette Z06 named the Genovation GXE hit a whopping 209 miles per hour last week – making it the fastest road-going electric vehicle in the world – the company behind that record-setting EV announced that the run was made on carbon fiber wheels which will also be included on their production models.

We get a great many questions about the future availability of something like the old Ford F150 SVT Lightning or the Ram 1500 SRT10, but in the absence of a true high performance sport truck intended for on-road performance, the current Ram 1500 Express offers the most bang-for-your-buck in a small half ton pickup.
