You may think that the electric Focus is Ford’s much belated debut in the EV space, but you’d be wrong. It ‘s actually been making electric cars since the 1960’s.
Well, electric concepts, anyways. The tiny Ford Comuta made its debut at the Geneva Motor Show way back in 1967, though the concept obviously never made its way into full production. It had a range of just under 40 miles on a single charge, and a top speed of 37 miles per hour. It was also tiny, at just six feet, eight inches long.
Surprisingly, when the car made its debut, Ford believed that electric cars would be on the road in less than a decade. And here we are, over 40 years later.
