Ford plans two-pronged electrified strategy: Certified dealers to offer entire line

摘要

When the 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid goes on sale in September, all the roughly 3,200 Ford brand dealers nationwide will be able to sell the gasoline-electric hybrid, which will hit 47 mpg highway and be priced starting at $25,995, including shipping, Ford Motor Co. says. But in the first quarter of 2013, when the Ford C-Max Energy plug-in hybrid arrives, only a select number of Certified EV Dealers, as designated by Ford, will be allowed to sell it.
