Ford is Moving Slowly on Electric Trucks

Ford is moving slowly when it comes to electric trucks and hybrid vehicles. The reason the company is moving slowly is because the batteries cost so much and the hybrid and electric vehicle market is not doing well. Many consumers are having a hard time stomaching the significant increase in price for a modest gain in fuel economy.
