I was thinking of posting this elsewhere, but it doesn't deserve its own thread.
Ford is
retreating on EVs apparently, just after showing off the
Focus EV / Hybrid with, er, compromised boot space due to strange choice in battery placement.
Sizeable buckets of salt are needed as this item comes from TTAC, however key quotes I read :
Quote:
“We still don’t know what the winning technology is going to be…We’re continuing to invest in hydrogen, we’re continuing to invest in biofuels.”
Ford bluntly reminded us that EVs had been tried before and failed:
“Prior to the Model T, a third of all vehicles in this country were electric… this isn’t a new technology. The reason it died away was the ubiquity of charging. Today, we have the same issue.”
