Ford plans to sell electric car by 2011

Ford Motor Co. says it plans to have a fully electric car in showrooms by 2011 that will get up to 100 miles on a single charge.

It also plans to offer a gas-electric hybrid vehicle that can be recharged from a standard wall outlet by 2012.

Ford announced its strategy for electric vehicles Sunday at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, offering a broad description of plans for both hybrid and purely electric-powered vehicles.

Executive Chairman Bill Ford Jr. says the company is working on four high-mileage battery-electric vehicles to be introduced in the coming years.

Derrick Kuzak, Ford's group vice president of global product development, says the automaker expects to start out selling 5,000 to 10,000 of the electric vehicles annually.
