The Ford Comuta, an experimental electric vehicle designed in 1967 at Ford's Dunton technical center, was primarily intended for the British market.

Powered by four 12-volt lead-acid batteries, it provides a range of 60 kilometers (37 miles) at a speed of 40 kilometers per hour (25 mph) and can reach a maximum speed of 60 kilometers per hour (37 mph).
Despite Ford Chairman Arjay Miller's prediction that a car like the Comuta could arrive within five to 10 years, the next electric Ford, the 1998 Ranger EV, arrived much later. Only two Comutas were ever built, one of which is now housed in the Science Museum in London, highlighting its unique place in Ford history.
Comuta's concept for a compact electric urban vehicle paved the way for future electric microcars and influenced designs such as the 1974 Vanguard-Sebring Citicar, which was the best-selling EV until the Tesla Model S.
