Ford Focus EV expected in 2010

There are reports coming out stating that Ford will start testing a battery-driven Ford Focus fleet in the UK as early as next year. These models are being developed with government assistance from its Technology Strategy Board which is responsible for promoting projects that are initiated by the industry that involves the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions.

As of today the government has shelled out a total of 25 million Pounds for 8 carmakers, Ford included, with the aim of getting about 340 electric demo cars on UK streets within six months to a year and a half. Ford Europe is responsible for setting up the electric Ford Focus fleet and it will be revised to accommodate the current technology that has already been tested for the Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) concept found in the Ford Tourneo.
