    By Sarfaraz Khan - May 20, 2013 | Tickers: HMC, NSANY.PK, TM

    The world’s leading automaker Toyota (NYSE: TM) has reported its earnings a few weeks ago in which it recorded a significant increase in annual income as sales rose while the weak Yen gave a boost to the bottom-line. Meanwhile, Toyota’s rival and the world’s third largest automaker Honda (NYSE: HMC) has also reported its annual results in which its earnings rose due to similar reasons. The Japanese more »

    By Nauman Aly - May 13, 2013 | Tickers: HMC, NSANY.PK, TM

    By Anna Bliss - May 1, 2013 | Tickers: GM, HMC, NSANY.PK, TSLA, TM

  • Can New York Taxis Jump Start the Electric Car Market?

    By Stephanie Faris - April 29, 2013 | Tickers: NSANY.PK, NRG, TSLA

    So far, consumers and investors have been ho-hum about the release of one electric car after another. An idea that seemed great in conceptualization has had tepid response since it came time to put it into practice. Electric cars simply lack the technology it will take for mass consumer adoption.

    Namely, consumers are reticent about the fact that electric cars have to be charged. Not only are charging stations hard more »

  • Can Tesla Motors Continue Its Recent Success and Survive?

    By Sergio Balatan - April 28, 2013 | Tickers: F, NSANY.PK, TSLA, TM

    Tesla Motors (NASDAQ: TSLA) has been on a roll lately. Tesla won the prestigious 2013 Motor Trend Car of the Year award late last year for its elegant Model S. This is quite an accomplishment for a innovative start-up company competing against longer entrenched automotive giants. In the last quarter, Model S sales were projected to be 4,500 units, but they beat that forecast with sales coming in at more »

  • Can Tesla Help Sell Other EVs?

    By Alexander MacLennan - April 22, 2013 | Tickers: GM, NSANY.PK, TSLA

    It seems like a rather bizarre idea that one company’s product would increase sales of its rivals while being a well-received product itself. But thing is that Tesla Motors (NASDAQ: TSLA) could be increasing sales of other electric vehicles simply by releasing its own Roadster and Model S. Unfortunately, we have no concrete evidence of how Tesla’s vehicles have affected other EV sales since no official polls have more »

  • Tesla Would Have No Place in Buffett’s Portfolio

    By Meena Krishnamsetty - April 21, 2013 | Tickers: F, GM, NSANY.PK, TSLA, TM

    Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) is a company that generated much hoopla when it debuted because of the niche product it was offering. It created even more buzz when it went public; so much so that its price the day of the IPO was above its target price. 

    If you are considering investing in Tesla, but you have doubts, consider one of the most trusted methods investors use in determining worthy investments more »

  • Is The Electric Car Industry Still Viable?

    By Lior Cohen - March 15, 2013 | Tickers: GM, NSANY.PK, TSLA

    The high hopes that the electric car will eventually conquer a substantial market share in the auto industry is still alive and kicking. Sales of leading brands of hybrid and electric cars continue to rise, but their profitability is questionable and the market share remains very low. Despite the small market share and questionable profitability, Investors continue to show their confidence in the industry: shares of Tesla Motors (NASDAQ: TSLAmore »)

  • Honda’s Lowered Forecast Creates Questions for 2013

    By Peter Pham - February 21, 2013 | Tickers: HMC, NSANY.PK, TM

    Honda (NYSE: HMC) delivered extremely strong quarterly performance in Q4 on the back of a U.S renaissance in car sales (due to aging fleets and hope) as well as improved operations after the 2011 Thailand floods. That said, however, its outlook remains weak due to headwinds in China and Europe. Honda achieved record sales in 2012 of 3.82 million units, an increase of 19%.

  • The Answer to Electric Car Range Anxiety

    By Matthew Luke - January 25, 2013 | Tickers: GM, NSANY.PK, NRG, TSLA

    I personally love the idea of the electric car. And when Nissan Motors announced a new Nissan LEAF model that could potentially sell for as little as $18,800 after various tax credits, I began to seriously consider the purchase of a new electric car. So I began to do my research. And as I was at my local Nissan dealership checking-out the current Nissan LEAF model, I was reminded of the one thing that has thus far kept me from pulling the trigger on a new electric car purchase. And that one thing is the battery. While I love the electric car in theory, the electric car battery leaves a lot to be desired for in practice. Specifically, I am referring to finding locations to charge the electric car's battery.

  • 3 Winners and 1 Loser in the US Auto Industry

    By Masam Abbas - January 10, 2013 | Tickers: FORD, GM, HMC, NSANY.PK, TM, VLKAY

    More bounce-back and replacement sales from Superstorm Sandy, a strengthening auto market, and aggressive marketing helped the US light vehicle seasonally adjusted sales rate to achieve a five-year high. The US SAAR ended up 15.31 million. Though it dipped below the forecasted 15.6 million mark, it was still a strong finish for the year.

    December's actual monthly sales of 1.35 million rose 13.4% YoY. Many more »

  • Could Lower Gas Prices End the EV Revolution?

    By Alexander MacLennan - December 17, 2012 | Tickers: GM, NSANY.PK, TSLA

    In the last few years we have witnessed the beginning of the rise of the electric car with the introduction of cars including the Chevrolet Volt, the Nissan (NASDAQOTH: NSANY) Leaf, and of course Tesla's (NASDAQ: TSLA) Roadster and Model S. But much of the economical argument to promote the EV was based around gas prices at four dollars and rising. While there is still an ongoing debate as more »

  • Can This Company Save Electric Cars?

    By Madhuchhanda Chatterjee - October 8, 2012 | Tickers: NSANY.PK, TSLA, TM

    During the last few decades, environmental impact of the petroleum-based transportation infrastructure, along with peak oil, has led to renewed interest in an electric transportation infrastructure. At a time when rising fuel costs are putting a financial strain on drivers throughout the UK, the cost of running an electric vehicle (EV) is one of the main incentives for people looking to make the switch.

    By Shaunak Kar - September 24, 2012 | Tickers: GM, NSANY.PK, TM

    General Motors (NYSE: GM) is looking for $8 billion-$10 billion in revolving credit facilities from its lenders. Well last time GM spent billions, it crashed into their research and development for the hybrid Chevrolet Volt which is yet to pay off and was more of a gamble than a measured move. So where do they stand now?
