Electric Ford Focus Coming

Ford Motor Co. unveiled a new all-electric version of its Focus car today at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, MI.

Maybe the most interesting thing about this new car is that it will be built in a Michigan factory that used to produce gas-guzzling SUVs, showing how much things have changed due to a poor world economy and rising gas prices.
