Electathon programs are low cost entry level for the education of students (usually). These are not street legal (or even usable) EVs. It costs almost nothing for a corporation to get the 'good guy' PR this way.
It is likely that Ford already spent the money on this, and it is a left over of all the 'good things' they had been doing, when they suddenly did an 'about face'. It is these about face actions that slaps anyone that has heard their public commitment to EVs. Something to mention to the press, Honda, GM, now Ford have done this. It makes one wonder about any other public commitment to 'new' technologies. ttfn ===== ' ____ ~/__|o\__ '@----- @'---(= . http://geocities.com/brucedp/ . EV List Editor & RE newswires .
