Ford Plans to Introduce Long-Range Electric Car

By making this move, Ford joins a growing field of automakers seeking to overcome consumer fears that electric cars will run out of juice and strand them.

Ford Motor Co. plans to introduce a long-range electric vehicle in order to compete with battery-powered models coming from Tesla Motors Inc. and General Motors Co. that would go 200 miles or more on one charge, reported Bloomberg.
