So Electric Mustang?

ArsTechnica said: Today at the Flat Rock Assembly Plant, Ford Motor Company CEO Mark Fields unveiled a large-scale electric vehicle initiative that will run through the company's next five years. Ford plans to invest $4.5 billion in electric vehicle production by 2020, and the company said it will produce 13 new electric vehicles, including a Mustang, an F-150, police cars, and a Transit Custom van. Additionally, Fields revealed that Ford would be canceling a previously announced $1.6 billion-production facility in Mexico. Instead, the company wants to invest $700 million in the existing Flat Rock facility, generating 700 new jobs focused on EV and autonomous initiatives at that location, according to Ford.

Now fully electric FoRS? Please?

Electric F150 I'd hope would sell like gangbusters. Bonus points can supposedly stand in for onsite generators in hybrid form.

Just to clarify, most of the vehicles they're planning are hybrid versions of existing vehicles, not full, plug-in electric vehicles. I think they'll do well though. Toyota has been hybrid-izing most of their line up for awhile now. Seems like they can see the writing on the wall.

I'd be all in for an electric Mustang. Having owned a Leaf, I know what the instant torque of an electric car feels like. Look at what the Tesla is capable of, and stick that performance into a Mustang. Droooooool..........

While i have zero desire too own a hybrid anything im happy too see that it will keep some jobs in the US. Hybrids will sell well to people with lots of traveling miles im sure.

Will anyone be shocked when an E-'stang crashes leaving cars & coffee?

Figuratively not even slightly, literally very unlikely

Well there won't be any photographic evidence, just a blue-white flash in the picture.
