Also, check out the Ford Focus Electric car. For once someone has built an electric car that doesn't look like shit. It looks a billion time better than the Chevy Volt or the Nissan Leaf. I'm curious to see how it will do on price..

Definately worth the 7 page read. I wish all the import owners on this site would read that. To think, if you had bought $100,000 of Ford stock in 2008, it's worth $1.8 million now!

It's just a shame the gov't had to bail them out like everyone else.

Ford didn't take bailout money. The money they were, "forced," to take in the article was all private debt, as it should be.

WRONG!! Ford was NOT bailed out by the "Gubment"!

What does is cost to charge the battery?

I don't remember the exact figures for electric cars but it is going to be a fraction of what it cost to get 100 miles for a gas powered car. That and great torque are the two really big advantages of any electric car.

Whats so energy conscious about an electric car? I don't get it. Do they realize what powers the chargers to charge these green electric cars? Coal fired power plants?

You're a glass is half empty kinda guy aren't you? Might as well say fuck it to electric cars and just burn gas till there's no oil left amirite?

[Trip McNeely]

I understand the premise, but it doesnt make sense to be calling them "Green" when they consume fossil fuels to charge.

Hydro, solar and wind power. I think these things might be invented sometime. O wait..
