14 DAY TRIAL // Google is one of the most eco-conscious giant companies worldwide; therefore, it makes perfect sense that it had to test the improvements highlighted by the first Ford Focus Electric released by the automaker.
The company has recently welcomed a gasoline-free 2012 Focus Electric, considered the one and only five-passenger electric vehicle achieving a 100 miles per gallon equivalent, so far.
Ford has revealed that the all-electric vehicle, powered exclusively by a new lithium-ion battery system will come along with faster charging technology, helping drivers recharge their car in half the time required by a Nissan Leaf, using 240-volt outlets.
Both companies share similar sustainability goals, since Google has invested $94 million (€73.07m) in solar energy. At the same time, Ford is willing to green up its name, by transforming its Michigan Assembly Plant in an environmentally friendly workplace, powered by renewables.
Even though it is not clear how Google will use the all-electric Focus, their partnership will definitely boost the popularity of the zero-emission car.
