The power demonstrated by a Ford F-150 that managed to pull over a million pounds of railcars 1,000 feet on Tuesday was impressive, but a local Ford Dealer says the future of electric and hybrid vehicles in the area is still years away. Jim Olson, who owns three automotive dealerships in Sturgeon Bay, says range and cost are two challenges facing the electric vehicle market.
Olson says the new hybrid vehicles are being put into the luxury brands. He adds that projections show by the year 2030 electric cars with still only represent about 30 percent of the auto market.
