If you like choices, then you could find plenty at the State Capitol building on Monday for Ford's Power of Choice tour.

The tour came rolling through Jefferson City to showcase the new electric-powered Ford Focus coming out this Spring.

Those with Ford said the benefits of an electric car go way beyond being friendly to the environment.

"In addition to being the most efficient car sold in the states right now, it's silent, fun to drive, and also has lower maintenance costs. So you have no oil changes, no spark plug changes, no tune-ups. It's just get in, plug it in, and drive basically," said Brad Kenoyer, a Ford Sustainability Expert.

This was the first the time vehicles were available for test drive in Missouri.
