Ford is going head to head with Renault next year for European electric vehicle sales, but Ford isn't following Renault's lead in offering electric vehicles with a battery-leasing option.
Dan Pierce from Ford says the Ford Focus Electric will be sold like a conventional vehicle - the battery will be included in the price of the car. Ford isn't offering a battery lease option in Either the US where the Ford Focus Electric will be available later this year, or in Europe - where the Focus EV will be sold in 2012.
The Ford Focus Electric has a single charge range of about 100 miles and is one of 5 electric vehicles Ford is planning to release over the next 3 years, including the C-max Energi.
Renault's electric cars all have battery leasing options, and Renault is keeping with it's plans of building electric cars with removeable battery packs. Car owners will be able to take advantage of battery exchange stations like the ones being installed by Better Place in Israel and Denmark.
