In the early 1990s, the California Air Resources Board (CARB), the government of California’s ‘clean air agency’, began a push for more fuel-efficient, lower-emission vehicles, with the ultimate goal being a move to zero-emissions vehicles such as electric vehicles. In response, automakers developed electric models, including the Chrysler TEVan, Ford Ranger EV pickup truck, G.M. EV 1 and S10 EV pickup, Honda EV Plus hatchback, Nissan lithium-battery Altra E.V. miniwagon and Toyota RAV4 EV. Ford Fusion was manufactured at ford’s Hermosillo stamping & Assembly plant, located in Sonora, Mexico. I thought going green was supposed to provide the U.S. with more jobs.
