    Cargo space

    I am able to carry my golf bag with a full set of clubs in the trunk area. I do not use a walking cart so can't answer that part. I have removed the storage compartment.

    Changes for the 2013 FFE?

    I saw a video about the FFE display and saw a battery image I do not have in my 2012. Do you know if they changed anything in the displays, SYNC or myfordtouch for 2013? Also, do you think, if they did change, we could get a zip stick to update? How cool would that be???

    Hatch Area Mat

    Fluke - I like the look of those floor mats. I am a little concerned about wear and tear on the factory carpet/mats. I removed the cargo organizer. I felt it actually reduced trunk space. In regard to the mats, are they a quality product? Is it real thick and does it reduce leg room? Do you...

    110 Miles + CLUB

    I think you might get close to 100. My best effort is 85 miles with 9 left in battery. AC on, 60 mph cruise control, Newport north to Providence with one 15 minute stop, then south to Westerly on I-95 in coastal RI. Good luck....

    Is the heater/defroster a range killer?

    Range Anxiety???? The first thing you have to determine is your usage pattern. Every morning you are going to have 75-85 miles of range (maybe better depending on your driving techniques.) If you plan on driving more then 80 miles one way, each day, you are in trouble. For example I drive...

    What Is Your Favorite Ford Focus EV Color?

    I have the Platinum tri color metalic white. First white car I have ever owned. When ordering I was disappointed by the color limitations. My gasser is a green car so I did not want the frosted glass. I never saw the Candy blue, so passed on that. I happened to see a white Focus ICE parked next...

    Predicted Range

    Fluke - I gotta fess up.... My style of driving puts me into a consistent 80 miles on the battery each morning. I have had 95 early after my delivery, but not anymore....

    Ford Focus Electric First Drive Reviews

    2 items - 1) It frequently does not update. It is good at home but poor at work so I chaulk that up to AT&T which is the data service Ford uses to communicate with the car. 2. I cannot access the discussion forums. Other then that I have not had the problems Whit has reported. It seems to...

    Whit and Rwbill - I also see a drop of 5 miles on the battery gauge. I found if I start the car ahead of time, while plug-in, I do not loose the 5 miles. I think they call that "preconditioning" the car.

    Battery Replacement Cost

    Another cool internet advantage goes to Ford!! I have discovered this site - http://owner.ford.com There are lots of usable links to directly deal with your auto. You become a member by using your SYNC login and your car is identified by the VIN number. So I went to parts. I want a new...

    Hood Help

    I am not liking the picture... My seal does not stick out. Go to a dealer and compare with an instock model.

    Whit - Only a nuclear engineer could answer your questions.... :D It is hot up here in RI 92 degrees yesterday (probably not like NC) and I have been preconditioning my car every day (using evseupgrade.com level 2 - 16 amp 3.84kWH capable) and driving to work with the AC on all the time (normal...

    Hood Help

    I understand what you are talking about. When you close the hood, the hood is slightly elevated above the top edge of the front grille/bumper. My car also has a 3/16" inch elevation. I attributed that to the foam/rubber seal between the hood and frame. It didn't bother me too much. Along the...

    Spare tire

    Just a note to the above. Ford provides 5 years of complete and free roadside assistance. Not a bad trade for no spare tire.

    Ford Focus EV Needs Little Maintenance

    I wish I knew how to put up an attachment here. If anyone can tell me I will post the Ford Recommended Maintenance Schedule. However, I contacted Ford and got a recommended maintenance schedule which is fun to look at. Basically, they have 9 items to inspection which are performed at the...

    What do you want to know about the Focus Electric?

    I have not found a way to charge to a certain level. They have a choice of charge or value charge, which is a way to charge during off peak hours. Buy, when you charge it simply caps the battery off. If anyone knows different, please post. I am not even certain charging to a certain...

    The MyFord Mobile app

    Whit, Before I ordered my car (Nov 2011), I went to my local dealer and asked if they would be able to service the FFE. The service manager said they had already been contacted by Ford Service and that every dealer in the US would be able to repair the FFE. I stopped in to show him the car...
