Is Ford trying to hold back the EV market suggesting it has no interest in making a vehicle capable of 200+ miles per charge? Check this article:- [https://transportevolved.com/2016/04/18/ford-says-no-to-200-mile-electric-car-maintains-100-miles-will-satisfy-a-big-chunk-of-the-population/](https://transportevolved.com/2016/04/18/ford-says-no-to-200-mile-electric-car-maintains-100-miles-will-satisfy-a-big-chunk-of-the-population/) With range anxiety still an issue for many people, what is Ford playing at? ---

Sounds like their being realistic. Note: they sell a lot of Hybrids. I share the opinion that Hybrids are the best all around choice if economy is your goal. Rodney ---

Someone needs to have a chat with the Netherlands government 😉 They are looking to ban the sale of all non-EVs by 2025 - including hybrids. It will never make it to law but they are thinking about it.
