Focus BEV

Whatcha guys think? It's supposed to get 75-80 miles per charge with a top speed of 85mph.. doesn't look too bad for a pure EV either.

here's fords link.

i have a problem with the "plug in cars"

the electrical grid is already well taxed in the west, particularly california. they want to rip out the hydro electric in the NW area because of the fishies...

now has anyone considered the extra load these cars "could" add? obviously depends on the numbers of them bought.

I don't have anything to back up my claim, but I believe I heard the chevy volt was only suppose to suck some two-od dollars of electricity per charge?

I could very well be wrong.
