It seems to me that unless its a continuous stop and go situation, then the ev cannot compete with the icb, unfortunately

The Tesla sedan is being delivered in 2011. It will have a 200 mile range and 120 mph top speed. Yes, it will be $50k, but so what. Get a longer loan.

After watching the part GM and Chrysler played in destroying the EV of the 90’s, as well as the Monorail that was to be free for the city of los angeles back in the 60’s, as well as the part the oil companies played, I will never by another GM or Chryler. My last three cars were a GM, a Chrysler and I currently have a Ford. I bought these to support the American auto worker, even though better choices may have been elsewhere. I was about to write off ever buying another American car because of the lack of integrity shown by Chrysler and GM in killing these efficient and green forms of transportation. I’m glad Ford is now pursuing this, and as I will be in the market for a new car or two shortly, I will consider Ford, but never again the others. No, I don’t work for Ford!

Are you or others persuing the super capacitor also as a back-up in case the lithium ion batteries do not live up to the hype. Also, are you able to make the focus alot lighter in weight now that they are using battery power? I think that America is craving an all electric vehicle. Look forward to hearing from you.

Is there a waiting list or a reservation list to reserve a FORD Focus BEV ?

I told you so. The car company BYD from China is getting permission to sell their EV here.
Come on Ford, get the release date brought in before someone beats you to the punch as I predicted.

Me too – I guess we’ll be joining Richard Petty’s gang in driving Fords!
