Ford’s battery electric vehicle | GlobalMotors.net

Ford’s battery electric vehicle | GlobalMotors.net: "Ford already has the Tourneo Connect BEV Concept which was shown at the Geneva Motor show this year and this new innovation will complement its electric vehicle drive.

A 21kWh lithium ion phosphate battery pack accumulates the energy to drive a 50kW permanent magnet motor, while the drive torque is transmitted to the driveshafts by a single-speed transmission. This set-up targets a range of up to 100 miles and a top
speed of 80mph in the Tourneo.

In the US, Ford will be working with Smith Electric Vehicles of UK, to make the Transit Connect commercial vehicle as a fully battery electric vehicle which should be available by 2010."
