Ford unveiled its first fully electric car on Friday, a Focus which is expected to get up to 100 miles (60 kilometers) on a single charge and will be available in the United States late this year.
Alan Mulally, chairman and chief executive of the number two US automaker, introduced the four-door passenger car at the annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.
Mulally declined to detail the vehicle's total range or how much it would cost, but a Ford spokesman said the Focus Electric's mileage on a single charge would be "competitive" with similar electric vehicles such as the Nissan Leaf.
The Nissan Leaf has a range of around 100 miles before needing to be hooked up to a power outlet.
Ford said the battery in the Focus can be fully charged at a home 240-volt charging station in three to four hours, about half the time of the Leaf. - agence france presse
