    Ford Focus EV faulty port charger lightning?

    Getting this charger port lighting part replaced would have cost about $350, but the warranty covered it and I only paid $100.

    Sorry, typo. Certified Pre-Owned.

    Ford Focus EV faulty port charger lightning?

    Mine is doing the same thing. Charges fine. The dealer ordered a new one under the COPO warranty as a certified Ford.

    I can't get mine to work at all. Now I'm kind of glad.

    Engine Braking

    I'm going to guess that if you already have a high braking score, that indicates that you are not using the conventional brakes, and you are already recovering virtually all the stored energy from the car's momentum.

    FFE Shopping question: Would you Rather?

    I had these exact same options. The unknown element of risk in this car is battery life. Other electrical components have enormous longevity. That's why there is no preventative maintenance cycle to speak of for this car. I went with the low mileage car to minimize the biggest risk. The price...

    Ford FFE FSA 16A01

    In Florida, the dealer said the recall doesn't count, just in the northern rust-ridden states. He didn't do it on my car. Of course, he could have told me that when I made the appointment listing the recall number as the reason, but that's another story.

    Mine is going in on Friday for this. I'll post what they say and/or do.

    Engine Braking

    I'm saying the car has X amount of kinetic energy as it is moving forward. To stop, all that energy has to be dissipated. You have wind resistance, gravity, tire adhesion, etc., conventional brakes, and drive train braking. Assuming for the sake of argument that no conventional braking takes...

    Engine Braking

    But would it make any difference? If your braking score is 98% without messing with the gearshift, why bother? There is only a fixed amount of kinetic energy to recapture as the car slows. At 98%, you've got about all you can. The drive train has re-absorbed almost all the energy pushing the car...

    Shopping: Ford Focus Electric vs Chevy Spark EV

    I just went through the same decision exercise and bought a 2013 with 14K miles. It is more practical space-wise and has a near-luxury car feel with the smooth, silent power train. I have no regrets. Note that you will see radically reduced range when you heat the car up there in Canada. I live...

    Blank Charging Display Numbers

    FYI, the fix was pulling and replacing the F1 fuse in the left rear cargo compartment.

    Reported Range after full charge

    I believe if you reset the Lifetime Totals to zero, it will stop using the previous driver's history in the GOM calculations and only use your driving history. I bought mine used and deleting that history seemed to make a difference. With a repetitive commute each day, you should get a pretty...

    insurance cost

    My insurance cost was virtually unchanged from the 1986 Fiero I swapped out. When I asked why the more expensive car didn't cost more, the agent cited all the safety devices and two extra seats as making it a lower risk.

    Blank Charging Display Numbers

    All of a sudden, the display on right hand side of the dashboard that shows estimated time to charge when you stop the car, and the charge start and estimated stop time when you plug in, displays only dashes instead of numbers. The car charges fine, but the calculations are not displaying. Has...
