The key to affordable, long-range battery-electric and hybrid vehicles is the battery pack.
The electrification of cars is coming. It became inevitable when F1 rules were opened up to allow hybrids. Once Bernie Ecclestone says something is OK, the world follows...

The new Taurus has shed its old-man skin.
In its role as mainstream sedan, the Taurus will never be the most exciting car in the Ford fleet, but this latest redesign has at least injected it with some sorely needed upgrades. The exterior design has been given a bolder, more modern look with a new grille and headlights, a higher beltline, and more pronounced fenders. The modernization continues inside, with a nice-looking center stack that houses audio and climate controls and, of course, Ford's Sync multimedia system.inline_mediumwraptextright30580671/reviews/editors_notebook/0909_2010_ford_taurus_sel_fwd0909_03_z+2010_ford_taurus_sEL_fWD+rear_three_quarter_view.jpgTrue
