Ford is "analyzing" whether extending the technology that was purchased for the Escape to other vehicles ........ looks like everybody is studying this or that "projects" uhhhh! very interesting!! I give my humble advice: If you want to see the work of a winner, an introducer of new technologies, a company that works and gets real results when people need do you have to look in the direction of Toyota Motors. Maybe by this extraordinary way to respond to market needs promptly and with high quality thet are the best while almost all others are bleeding wound for their inefficiencies. Studies, future projects ....... BS! ACTIONS! AND SOON as Toyota do! These inefficient have to learn to be on the side of the winners.

The Tango is a great idea, and sounds safer than a bike, but it's no Porsche, in my humble opinion.

It is already in use as a UPS system around the world. Its inventor based at the University of NSW in Sydney Australia is working with the Chinese to develop a Bus system. What makes this battery the best is that its liquid is charged outside of the battery then in the short time it takes to replace the liquid you have just used it is fully charged and ready to roll.Research it on the web.

Anyone who wants to push the Tango to a faster production can get in line by putting a fully refundable deposit into a neutral escrow account. http://www.commutercars.com/ The account is set up so that only the person putting the deposit down has access to the money.

These new ones coming out (Tango, Tesla) are going to be incredibly fun to drive. It's just a shame the prices are so high, because they aren't yet being mass-produced as gasoline-powered cars are. And yet, even with the high prices. . . There is more at stake than just saving a few bucks at the gas pump. The USA is at war. Our soldiers have sacrificed much, and their families have sacrificed much. What have the rest of us done? Anything? After Pearl Harbor, General Motors switched all their factories over to producing tanks and planes in less than a year. After 9-11 they've done nothing but business as usual, cranking out SUVs. Nobody has shown any leadership. I think it's shameful. I want to buy an electric car — and not only because of high gas prices.

The auto manufacturers see that there will only be a demand for these vehicles if the price of gas is high. If a small percentage of the population goes electric (or just buys a more fuel efficient vehicle) - the country uses less gas - the gas supply goes up - and the price of gas goes down. The end result being that the demand for these vehicles vanishes. We are caught in a vicious cycle - the only thing that will break this cycle is government mandates. Too bad we have a short-sighted government that is only looking out for the short-term profits of the corporations.

The 25 year old motor still as good as new.  Balance that against oil changes, etc. In 1948 I did all my own maintenance and engine work. Those days were long gone, until I went electric! When my electric car batteries reach their end of mobile life they still have enough life to support my solar system.  I love batteries and look forward to the next generation.

Their first vehicle planned production vehicle is a pickup truck (looks like a Ford Ranger). They have announced an SUV type vehicle as their second model. (They also will sell an electric version of a '37 Ford roadster but that doesn't qualify as conventional).
