Mine is less than a week old. Let me know how you'd like me to test...

The big problem is that Ford has yet to adopt the degradation warranty. We all know they're just dragging their feet making the FFE anyway, but Ford won't be considered a player in the EV market until they do (and stand behind their products). ...Still, pretty damn good little car for dragging...

What troubles me is that most of what I read about the 12V discharge is in the sub 2014 models... his is the 2016. I bought a plug-in 12v cigarette meter, I'll put it in the car now. Thanks for letting us know!

thanks for telling us your experience! The 2017 model will give the DC, though it's only going to have the 100mi range. It will be out in December. I doubt they'll ever get the FFE to 200mi without a dedicated design instead of the retrofit it currently is. My local Ford dealers have the J1772...

I picked up my 2016 FFE this morning. The 48 month relationship is underway. Let's hope she turns out to be a princess - she'll be treated as such. Had a beautiful drive into work, getting 200Wh/km, using the A/C and not worrying about a thing. I'm really looking forward to this experience...

I'll check into that Thanks!

Lol, great ideas. so far Noriko is leading the list. She's a Marvel character called "Surge" and has blue hair. If I could find some sort of Japanese connection with the FFE, it would seal the name. My other cars: Jean Grey (Phoenix) Olivia Wilde

The FFE is also about 400lbs heavier than the regular Focus

If I EVER see an FFE in the wild I'd geek out. Way too rare in my parts. It's only happened once, a few weeks ago. I got the camera out and took some lurking shots whilst they were charging. Never saw the owners.

Wow, too bad no footage to see them!

Girl for sure, but trying to dig up a decent female name in the Marvel Universe that's appropriate

I may be talking to myself... but WOOHOO! The car was built yesterday! Primary Features Build Date: 28.07.2016 Vehicle Line: Focus (C346N) Engine: 350V/72A Electric Motor Transmission: 1 Speed Transmission Time for the happy dance! Hope to see the car in the next two weeks

Whoops, looks like further digging answered my question. Sounds like a placeholder (whew) :D http://www.focusst.org/forum/focus-st-discussions/2351-build-date-decoding.html

As I get closer and closer to FFE ownership it gets harder and harder to pump petrol... I've been lurking the etis site in hopes to see some sort of update on my VIN. The dealer said it was "slated" for production this week, and as I understand it, the two on order may be the last two created...

Fresh recall... http://www.greencarreports.com/news/1104922_some-2015-2016-ford-focus-electrics-recalled-for-pinion-shaft-problem

Hey Keith, I just bought a chargepoint too (Hamilton area). We're installing it in a few weeks, but I'm installing it inside the garage with a 2" conduit pass through my basement allowing the cable to be hung outside the garage. Since the chargepoint is web enabled there's no reason to go into...

Seeing things like this really makes me concerned. Granted the interwebs are full of people to vent... but when its on such a limited production vehicle like the FFE (what 250 ish made for the entire run for Canada?) and we see so many of you with the problem across so many borders... and it...

vegasbrad, I think you have a typo near the top of this page: https://bsa-electronics.myshopify.com/products/50a-12kw-openevse-portable-outdoor-with-lcd-selectable-length-bsa-ultra-flexible-j1772-cable-evse74-in-pdf "50A 12kW OpenEVSE portable outdoor with LCD OpenEVSE 30A in a beautiful case...

Many thanks michael To contrast the point even further (and the to illustrate my concern), once the Leaf hits that third bar loss (within the specified time) the capacity warning can kick in for replacement. Ford doesn't have a capacity warranty at all. That's my major stumbling block with...

Zombie thread revival (first of many, please forgive me) I'd like to know any updates from y'all on your odometer, and any pack loss you've experienced. I have my first BEV on order: 36 month lease, 2016 FFE in Kona, and we'll be putting 25,000kms/year on it, and I'm concerned about how it...
