Ford updates plug-in plans at NY Auto Show
Ford's hydrogen plug-in hybrid drive at NAIASIn addition to Ford's plans to produce a hydrogen plug-in hybrid vehicle, Ford will also continue to develop gasoline electric plug-in hybrid vehicles as well according to Reuter's reports from the New York Auto Show.
When asked about the plug-in hybrid's ability to drive on electric power only, Ford product chief Derrick Kuzak stated, "Some automakers are saying 40, but we are saying 20 to 25 miles ... to offload the battery (give it a rest) and potentially make it more affordable".
Much like every other automaker, Kuzak also noted that batteries were critical to the success of plug-in hybrid vehicles.

I just wish that Ford/GM/Honda would stop wasting money on this hydrogen vehicle foolishness. I love the 25-40 mile EV part. But when you add a hydrogen stack to the equation, then we're looking at cars that cost a million dollars each! Forget agout it!
How about a flex-fuel plug-in hybrid Ford Edge? That would be a worthy project!
