Ford gives in Electric Trucks

After a California man successfully got Statewide media attention (and coverage from this blog!), the giant automaker has finally acquiesced to his request to keep his electric-powered pickup truck:

Ford Motor Co. made a U-turn Friday, agreeing to sell two electric-powered Ford Ranger trucks to a pair of California drivers who have refused to return their leased vehicles because the carmaker intended to scrap them.

David Bernikoff-Raboy and William Korthof, who have parked their trucks for more than a week at a local Sacramento Ford dealership in protest, said they were told by a Ford representative Friday that the trucks would be sold to them - for a dollar.

Shows you just how valuable Ford believes the electric car technology to be!
