The utility.will get a Ford plug-in hybrid vehicle by the end of this year and as many as 20 by some time in 2009 to test their durability, range and impact on the power grid, said Susan M. When Lutz first proposed creating an electric car in 2003, the idea "bombed" inside GM, he says. "I By partnering with these two industries.
