Ford Begins to Ship All-Electric Transit Connect Vans. By Christina Rogers, Detroit News, 12/8/10. “Ford Motor Co. expects commercial plug-in vans and trucks to be as important to the emerging electric vehicle market as sales to consumers in dealer showrooms. That's why the automaker is getting in early. Ford began shipping its all-electric Transit Connect on Dec. 8, becoming the first large automaker to produce a commercial, plug-in van for the U.S. market in larger volumes... The $57,400 electric Transit Connect will have a range of 80 miles and come with a 10-year, 120,000 mile warranty, which reflects typical commercial use.”
