In 2005, Ford announced a goal to make 250,000 hybrids a year by 2010, but by mid-2006 announced that it would not meet that goal, due to excessively high costs and the lack of sufficient supplies of the hybrid-electric batteries and drivetrain system components.
Tahun 2005 Ford mengumumkan target untuk memproduksi 250.000 kendaraan hibrida sampai 2010, namun di pertengahan 2006 mereka mengumumkan lagi mungkin tidak akan mencapai target itu karena ongkos tinggi dan sedikitnya pasokan baterai dan komponen sistem penggerak.
