62-mpg car standard by 2025? U.S. mulls options

President Barack Obama checks out an all-electric Ford Focus — a model still in development — at a groundbreaking ceremony for Compact Power's  advanced battery factory in Holland, Mich. on July 15. The plant will build batteries for electric vehicles including the Chevrolet Volt and Ford Focus.
