Ford focuses on the electric vehicle (photos)

Ford CEO Alan Mulally took the stage at CES 2011 in Las Vegas today to introduce the manufacturer's new zero-emissions vehicle, the Focus Electric.

Due out later this year, the car can reach a top speed of 84 mph, but most notably Ford has reduced the charging time of the vehicle to three hours. An internal charger is better able to take advantage of the 240-volt lines, making charging twice as fast as the competition.
