In effort to keep up with the demand for more fuel-efficient cars, Ford recently announced plans to triple its production of electric cars by 2013. The Detroit News reports that Ford hopes to build 100,000 electric vehicles a year by then, focusing primarily on making the C-Max an electric-only automobile.

The C-Max, which debuted in Europe in 2003 and is set to come to the United States, is currently only available as a two-mode hybrid. In addition to removing the gasoline option of the C-Max, Ford said that its primary concern would not be to create entirely new eco-conscious cars but to make the ones it already offers more environmentally-friendly.

"We're not electrifying a certain vehicle and making a science project for a few people. We're electrifying our core (models)," Jim Farley, Ford's president of marketing, told the news source.

Ford already offers several hybrid version of their popular cars, including the Fusion, which gets an estimated 41 miles-per-gallon. Drivers interested in a hybrid vehicle may want to consider New Jersey Auto Auction for their vehicular needs.
