I too hope this is a sign of a major turn-around for Ford and the rest of the American car makers. I’m looking forward to the future 'if this is true'. That is the question. Ford Motor Company as a American Car manufacturer has not been very 'transparent' in it's poor industry decisions and recall defects. A consumer would much rather, pay for a $20 part than to have a defective part burn someone to death. We are not talking small issues of the past, like a radio knob falling off, we are talking peoples homes burning down, People/children/pets burning alive for decades and still today there are Vehicles that are NOT on Fords recall list are bursting into flames. Please make sure your new electric cars meet all the specifications and do not leak break fluid into the cruise control switch! (SDCS) defect I have an idea PRETEND your child or children are going to drive all the vehicles you design and you'll be fine.

They are rated at and can legally only go 25 mph. As a manufacturer, we limit the vehicle's speed to 25 mph before they are sold. Miles Electric Vehicles do not go up to 50 miles per hour.

However, over the past year, I've become increasingly convinced that the future of transportation lies with electrification rather than improved liquid fuels. That's not to say that natural gas and next-gen biofuels can't play a part, but the focus going into improving battery technology right now leads me to believe that this is ultimately where things are headed.

If so they are on a winner. In reading other reports/blogs it appears the 3 big US car companies feared losing revenue on maintenance of their engines, support etc and hence the zero priority on EVs. Pretty short sighted view and their eventual demise will not be missed. Unfortunately in the US too many issues are decided by lobbies - oil lobby, automotive etc etc all to maintain current position or to stop new ideas getting off the ground. Look at global warming & what the Bush administration did to deny and prevent discussion on the issue. We are like the proverbial frog being cooked in the slowly warming pot of water! Good luck to BYD and all other EV companies. I hope the BYD’s batteries are as good as touted. If so they are on a winner.

It may not be very productive or powerful as yet but I'm sure as demand grows and companies put more $$ into research that these things will improve.
