Amid rumors that there was a delay in production of the battery-powered Ford<\/a> Focus, the venerable manufacture announced that the process is going ahead as planned. USA Today reports that officials have said they will start shipping the innovative cars to dealers next spring.<\/p>\n

The questions over the delay were sparked by Ford CEO Alan Mulally's recent comments on The Late Show with David Letterman. Mulally hinted that while the 2012 Focus Electric will be for sale later this year, it would not be available to the public until the spring. Ford was quick to clarify his comments.<\/p>\n

"Ford remains on schedule to deliver the initial Focus Electrics by the end of the year. As previously communicated to dealers, the first few months of Focus Electric production will be concentrated on delivering vehicles to California and New York," the company said.<\/p>\n

Ford would suffer greatly from a delay in production, as Chevrolet<\/a> has been selling its electric-powered car, the Volt, since the middle of December 2010.<\/p>\n

Drivers looking to get in a fuel-efficient car, whether it be a Ford Focus or Honda<\/a> Accord, will want to check out New Jersey Auto Auction<\/a>, which offers plenty of models at affordable prices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
