When Will Electric Vehicles Spark Buyers?

Electric and hybrid vehicles made a lot of news at this month's International CES in Las Vegas and the big auto show in Detroit. There's reason for optimism: While it took eight years for the category to reach a 2% market share in the U.S., since October of 2011 that figure has almost doubled.

At CES, Motley Fool analyst Rex Moore was able to chat with Ford's Mike Tinskey about all things electric. Interestingly, Tinskey says the competition is far from a cutthroat -- instead, most manufacturers are working somewhat cooperatively, hoping to see the category grow exponentially in the years to come. See part one of the interview in the video below.

Ford has been performing incredibly well as a company over the past few years -- it's making good vehicles, is consistently profitable, recently reinstated its dividend, and has done a remarkable job paying down its debt. The stock has recently taken off, and it appears investors have started to notice what Ford is doing right.
