2010 Ford Transit Connect
Ford will pull the curtain on the 2010 Transit Connect, a commercial van, at the Chicago Auto Show. The gasoline engine-powered version is to go on sale this summer for $21,475, while the plug-in, battery electric version is to arrive in the second half of 2010. The electric van is to be powered by a lithium-ion battery and is expected to be able to run for 100 miles from a fully charged battery.
