Ford Charges Up With Compact Power Batteries
The Focus Electric will be a full battery electric passenger car made at Ford’s Michigan Assembly Plant, which used to mainly produce large SUVs. The Focus Electric is expected to travel up to 100 miles with zero tailpipe emissions. Ford said it plans to have five electric car models on the roads by 2012.
Compact Power also makes batteries for General Motors‘ Chevrolet Volt plug-in hybrid, due out later this year.
