Sales of plug-in electric cars were essentially flat in the U.S. last year compared to 2014, and this year isn't necessarily going to be much better. Part of that is due to product cadence: the Nissan Leaf and Tesla Model S, two of the top-selling cars in previous years, are now relatively old vehicles.

Today, a name for a future electric car, an energy debate in a small state, and a possible way to turn greenhouse gases into vehicle fuel. All this and more on Green Car Reports. We first saw the Audi e-tron Quattro Concept at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show. Now we learn the production electric car will be named simply Audi e-tron. Everyone assumes... 
At least in North America, ethanol is a contentious fuel. A decade ago, it was seen as a homegrown and carbon-neutral way to use less gasoline—and federal legislation mandated that increasing volumes be blended into U.S. fuel supplies. Much debate followed over using "food for fuel," its supposed carbon neutrality and the footprint of the... 
The announcement of the Chevrolet Bolt concept car came like a thunderclap at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show. After unveiling the 2016 Chevy Volt plug-in hybrid, General Motors CEO Mary Barra rolled out a bright orange five-door hatchback electric car.

This is our look back at the Week In Reverse—right here at Green Car Reports—for the week ending on Friday, October 14, 2016. At the end of the... 
The Toyota Corolla has been almost the default compact sedan among North American buyers for what seems like decades now. In good years, more than 350,000 are sold to retail and fleet buyers in the U.S., and they're part of the automotive landscape in even the reddest states of the union. The latest Corolla is thus cautiously evolutionary, with... ![Atvus electric car to be built by Atieva [image: Recode, via California public-records request]](http://images.hgmsites.net/tmb/atvus-electric-car-to-be-built-by-atieva-image-recode-via-california-public-records-request_100577721_t.gif)
There's no shortage of putative rivals to electric-car maker Tesla Motors, from German luxury makers to other California startups. Thus far, of course, none have actually put a car on sale—unlike Tesla, which has sold somewhere north of 125,000 cars since 2008.

Three long-range electric cars at affordable prices will move the industry forward over the next year or two. The Chevy Bolt EV is within several weeks of arriving at the first dealers that will carry it, and a second-generation Nissan Leaf should go into production by the end of next year.
