Ford moving forward with hybrid vehicles

Yes on hybrids, maybe on plug-ins

Ford is moving forward with plans to develop more hybrid vehicles, but the automaker is more uncertain regarding plug-in hybrids.

According to Reuters, Nancy Gioia, Nancy Gioia, who heads Ford hybrid and "sustainable" vehicle programs, said in order to build a plug-in car with a minimum range of 40 miles on battery power and a top speed of over 60 miles per hour, the size of the battery pack would have to double or triple in size. That would make the vehicle prohibitively heavy and expensive, she said.
