Ford has a pending trademark application on the “Model E” name. Just last month, Ford executive Kevin Layden claimed that Ford was not yet interested in developing an electric vehicle with 200 miles of range because the 100 miles already offered by the Ford Focus Electric was more than enough for most people’s daily driving needs. However it would appear the auto giant has since had a change of heart, with CEO Mark Fields recently confirming that the company is planning to launch a 200-mile EV after all. The new model will be called the Model 3, and it’s expected to hit the market sometime next year.
