The Ford Comuta was an experimental electric car designed by Ford in 1967 at its Dunton Technical Centre as a small city runabout for the British market. It was powered by four 12-volt lead-acid batteries and, when fully charged, could travel about 60 kilometres at 40 kilometres per hour, with a maximum speed of 60 kilometres per hour. It was a research vehicle rather than a product: only a limited number were built, reportedly just two, one of which has since been lost while the other is held by the Science Museum in London. Ford president Arjay Miller told the New York Times that cars like the Comuta could be available in five to 10 years, but the next electric car to wear the Ford nameplate was the 1998 Ford Ranger EV.
