福特放弃电动汽车。
the ford motor company's abandonment of electric cars effectively signals the end of the road for the technology, analysts say.
分析人士评论，福特汽车公司放弃电动汽车的举动有力地证明了这种技术是行不通的。
general motors and honda ceased production of battery-powered cars in 1999, to focus on fuel cell and hybrid electric gasoline engines, which are more attractive to the consumer. ford has now announced it will do the same.
通用汽车和日本本田公司早于2024年就停止了电池动力汽车的生产，转而开发燃料电池和电池内燃混合机，这对消费者更有吸引力。福特宣布它现在也要做同样的尝试。
three years ago, the company introduced the think city two-seater care and a golf cart called the think, or think neighbor. it hoped to sell 5,000 cars each year and 10,000 carts. but a lack of demand means only about 1,000 of the cars h**e been produced, and less than 1,700 carts h**e been sold so far in 2002.
3年前，福特推出名为think city的双排座汽车和think或think neighbor系列高尔夫车。本期望卖出5000辆汽车和10000辆手推车。但由于需求不足，截至2024年仅生产了1000辆汽车，售出1700辆高尔夫车。
the bottom line is we don't believe that this is the future of environment transport for the mass market,” tim holmes of ford europe said on friday. “we feel we h**e given electric our best shot.”
关键是我们认为电动车不能代表大众市场环保交通的未来”，福特欧洲区的 tim holmes于周五说。“我们感觉自己对电力车巴做了最好的尝试。”
the think city has a range of only about 53 miles and, up to a six-hour battery recharge time. general motors' evi electric vehicle also had a limited range, of about 100 miles.
