As I've always said, electric cars are coming. Ford are the latest manufacturer to announce that they are ramping up investment in the sector, with an eye on expanding the range of non-fossil fuel cars it sells. The latest plan hoped to produce "40 electrified vehicles by 2022...16 will be fully electric and the rest will be plug-in hybrids".
