    Where is the 2017 Focus Electric???

    Sounds good to me. Just coincidental that Hyundai is also sitting on their stock (though, at least they're landed in the country and ready for distribution)

    Where is the 2017 Focus Electric???

    I'm seriously thinking that something is up... Not only are the 2017's STILL not around, but I have a feeling they're waiting until April to get them to the dealers (it was built in December FFS). Time to start the conspiracy theories... Mine is that there's some reason Hyundai and Ford are...

    120v charging and Preconditioning

    That would require Ford to give a damn about their car, or customers instead of dragging their feet the whole time talking about "future products" Around these parts, charging isn't really a "paid for" experience. I've only come across one L2 that was paid (at the government owned train...

    120v charging and Preconditioning

    Yeup, but I haven't researched how many where Thai and I live. That's why I said: "If/when you move, and if/when your workplace or near by gets a L2 or L3 your life will become a lot less annoying." Thai and I are both looking at the 2017's due to the massive Ontario incentives.

    120v charging and Preconditioning

    I'll let others clarify the possibility of using one of those, if I'm not mistaken it's the Amps that are really needed, not the voltage. You're still relying on the 15A (Fuse in Thai's case) circuit to feed the EVSE. The Turbo cord is a good idea though, but I'd probably end up with something...

    120v charging and Preconditioning

    Hahaha, there he is. Thanks for clarifying for us bud. It appears that it's an Amperage and wiring issue, that they don't have an extra 40A breaker place available (which reminds me of the new panel and service upgrade I will need to do for my second FFE :cry: ) As we've been discussing, it's...

    Where is the 2017 Focus Electric???

    It's on the 48 month options, not the 72 month, confirmed a minute ago (I have pics, but can't seem to upload them)

    Disappointing indeed. Thanks!

    120v charging and Preconditioning

    I have a friend considering a 2017 FFE, but there's a few things that I need to get clarified and I haven't been able to find answers on searching yet. Unfortunately he's thinking of living with a 120v at both work and home with 10h charging at each location. Given the 32kWh pack, and the 45km...

    Where is the 2017 Focus Electric???

    My 2017 is still not sent yet (confirmed by Dealer call yesterday), but Ontario (Canada) just released their 2017 EV incentives.... $14,000 off the FFE. Ford still has the 0% lease or financing as well. Brings the FFE down to $22,000 CAN to PURCHASE (roughly $16,800 USD) out the door, all...

    My experience with the new to me FFE so far...

    Once the kids or whomever have to pay their own money for the petrol and repairs of the old car, they'd quickly swing around to the EV's. My eldest daughter (11) is jonesing for my 2005 MINI that I've taken out of service due to the astronomical repairs and cost to run. Very strange that you...

    FFE not moving after starting it and put in reverse

    I'm not a new driver and I've experienced the problem as originally described (August 2016 build). Everything should be ready to go (green car icon etc) but no joy. My driveway is on an incline and the only way I really know the car's not working is that the power assist brakes are not active...

    Where is the 2017 Focus Electric???

    I just called. Mine's still at the factory (hasn't been shipped yet). We're not sure what cars are coming to the Toronto Auto show yet. They did tell me that they're putting the 0% and -$3500 on the price of the 2017's So the car's going to be another smoking deal. I don't know when the...

    Woes of winter range

    You guys have had yours longer and dug into it further, but on 3 separate occasions I have returned to the car 8 hours later during -16C ambient temperature to have between 2 to 5 km's range lost. If that's the traction pack returning to ambient and becoming less efficient (or needing to be...

    Where is the 2017 Focus Electric???

    In December, my dealer told me the 2017 I've got reserved has been built and is awaiting delivery. I'll update when I know more (it should be any day now)

    Woes of winter range

    I don't know if it's been mentioned or pointed out, but "It's cold outside - plug the vehicle in" warning does show up for me often these days. Whilst parked - plugged in or not - the FFE will condition the battery - consuming the traction pack's available charge. I've seen a loss of 5kms range...

    Interesting Cold Weather Event

    The 2017's started production in late November, and last I checked in December, the first to Canada were completed and waiting. It should be any day now that I get the call to come and see it (I have first right of refusal on what I believe is the first to Canada). I'll report back when I have...

    Bigger Batteries in a 2016 FFE?

    If it's "just" a traction pack, and the form factor is the same, the connectors are the same I can't see why not. Overall the EV's are modular, the charger and inverter aren't part of the traction pack, and at the end of the day - they're just battery cells in a box. But seeing as it may have...

    CCS upgrade for older Focus Electrics

    Rare? Count the Canadian ones!

    CCS upgrade for older Focus Electrics

    I'd love to see photos of the charge door open and closed on that 2016.99 car. Which begs the question; what makes it a 2017 model? Because they "said" it was? Sure if the VIN has it classified as it being made at the end of November, that's a good start, but all the documentation says that the...
