Agree, it's the top story on my news feed here in the midwest. It's probably going to get somewhat diminished coverage, as by Monday it's highly likely that there will be 4 named storms in the Atlantic, with a large hurricane

Ford sold a fully-electric Focus for about 8 years. They've sold multiple generations of plug-in hybrid vehicles, and codeveloped (and sold) a fully-electric delivery van about 10 years ago. They know how to do it.
