On Monday, we took a look at a few of the electric cars that are turning heads at the 2010 North American Auto Show.
But here are a few more highlights that deserve some attention. . .
GM Vice Chairman Bob Lutz announced that GM will build a pure-electric vehicle by expanding the Volt's battery pack and removing the internal combustion engine.
Ford Motor Company announced it would invest $450 million to build its next-generation hybrid and a rechargeable plug-in hybrid in Michigan starting in 2012.
Toyota showed off its FT-CH hybrid electric concept, which is basically a smaller version of the Prius. No details on fuel economy, but I suspect it'll come in higher than the 50 mpg Prius.
The new Tesla Model S made its first auto-show debut.
The Ford Fusion Hybrid won Car of the Year and the Ford Transit Connect van won truck of the year.
