10、anuary 10 to 23, was no exception. Among the fully electric vehicles on display were the Ford Focus Electric and the Honda Fit EV.

Of
18、 course, electronic vehicles are meant to be that way.”This sounds promising, particularly in light of the fact that the show featured more electric cars from big manufacturers than ever before.
