Despite
hype, Ford plug-in hybrid vehicles a decade away

You
won't plug-it in anytime soon
On Friday I reported that Ford
and SoCal Edison were going to announce a partnership
on plug-in
hybrid vehicles. While that partnership was confirmed,
the fact that plug-ins might be a decade from
mass-produced reality was also confirmed.
"Within five to ten years we will start to see this
technology in our hands," Mulally said at an event to
mark a partnership between Ford and Southern California
Edison to explore the feasibility of the rechargeable
electric vehicles.
Hopefully, Ford can produce a few new hybrid
cars between now and then, rather than just Ford
Escape hybrid derivatives.
