Ford to spend $4.5 billion on electrified vehicles. Electric is solely powered by batteries. Electrified is battery powered or hybrids. 40% of all cars being "electrified" by 2020 doesn't seem like news at all. This is the direction all manufacturers are going. |
I'm happy to see the direction Ford, Chevy, and GM are going. I'd really like to see a purpose built EV from Ford. Retrofitting EV gear into a gasser is sure to compromise utility and efficiency.

Beginning to sound like the "Westinghouse/Tesla vs. Edison" War-of-the currents:
Tesla chargers GM chargers Ford chargers Fiat chargers VW chargers BMW chargers |
All costs are passed down to the end consumer.
Taking an existing gas vehicle and making an electric version is great for the buyers. |

SAE "defines" a standard connector for USA, but other countries have their OWN "standards."
I was overtly comparing 'gasoline-is-gasoline' to 'volts-is-volts,' but each manufacturer sells their OWN chargers. |
I think most manufacturers would like to make use of whichever system is most common, if it is open to them rather than build their own exclusive network.
On the other hand, having their own chargers can give them an advantage, and why do things the easy way? We will soon find out who is in charge. By the way, this is the first post with my new iPad and it may well be the last too! My God I hate Apple with a vengeance now, stupid autocorrect, stupid space is no space bar, why can't I put the cursor where I want... So much to learn :o |
" We will soon find out who is in charge. "
Ahhh. I see what you did there . |
Which be it? 'Gooberment Motors' or 'General Motors'?

What's the big deal? Ford had electric cars 30 years ago. Nobody but municipalities bought them.
