Ford tests electric car Ecostar for real world data
Ford plans to download and analyze data from the Ecostar as its electric fleet shifts from lab tests to real world use. Ledford notes sodium sulfur batteries offer three to four times energy storage, but current range stays about 100 miles and charging takes six to eight hours on 240 volts. Battery life is two to three years with a $46,000 cost, potentially dropping to $15,000 with mass production. The Ecostar starts with a key and aims to mimic internal combustion in feel, offering quiet operation and a top speed of 72 mph.
