From the Boston Globe: The Chevrolet Volt and Nissan Leaf have gotten nearly all the attention, but they are not the only electric vehicles making their way to customers this month. Ford Motor Co. said yesterday that it had started shipping a battery-powered version of a delivery van, the Transit Connect Electric, to a handful of business customers.
The Transit Connect is Ford’s first electric vehicle, coming to market about a year before it plans to challenge the Leaf and the Volt with a battery-powered car, the Focus Electric. The first electric vans are being delivered to several companies that agreed to be early users, including AT&T, the Canada Post, the New York Power Authority, and Southern California Edison.
