Ford's electric Focus can have its battery fully recharged at home with a 240-volt system in as little as four hours, the company says. That's about half the time that it takes to fully recharge the battery of a Nissan Leaf, the first fully electric car to go on sale by a major auto maker.
Ford, in fact, used Detroit to unveil three new hybrid and electric vehicles. They are all part of a plan to provide more choices for fuel efficient transportation than any other manufacturer.
By 2012, Ford said its family of electric vehicles will include a plug-in hybrid and gasoline hybrid version of the C-Max, as well as a battery-powered Focus Electric compact car.
