Very cool! I'm glad there are so many automakers stepping up to the plate as it were and I hope we get really good EV's because of it all. I didn't know Toyota had already announced to sell an EV by 2012 so that's good news too.

Why is Ford making an all electric commercial van though? Ha ha... (by the way I understand the actual reasoning, I'm just saying that because it's kind of funny to me).

I saw the same article. I didn't start a thread because it didn't seem that the article was very well substantiated, nor were there many details. Nothing negative towards you. I just wish the author of the article had put more time into researching the situation before reporting on it.
