Re: Warren Brown "Thumbs Down" article




The Ford Ranger EV IS available in most states, However it
is left up to the individual dealers if they choose to
become a franchised store for AFV's from Ford. Then there
is the problem of cost to the Dealer who must bear the
entire cost of specialized equipment, training, etc. to
meet the criteria set fourth by Ford to qualify to
sell/lease
them. Then on top of that the dealer must have enough
orders to make it worth while.

Lets face it ( if there is no profit in it, It will 
probably not happen) I live in the middle of nowhere
between Iowa and Minnesota and believe it or not there IS
and are Ford dealers around here who do sell Ranger EV's
and you CAN get one, Now about that Powerball Lottery?
