Happens to me also. I contacted the admin and they replied that they were aware of the issue (it happens to him also) and would be trying to fix it. The forum uses the wrong timezone for me also even though it is correct in my profile.

My use of the rear hatch area will eventually lead to wear of the OEM covering since it is a felt-like material instead of carpeting. I found a rubber mat that is supposed to be sized to fit on top of the Focus Electric's cargo organizer from Rubbertite. I'll post some photos of it when it...

Will fast DC charging have an impact on the life of the battery?

My car made it back from the dealer doing the bumper repaint work. I really wish I didn't have to get a new car part repainted because I don't think it will be as durable as factory - they did a good job of matching the paint. The clear bra should take care of my concerns about durability...

I have trouble telling Oxford White apart from White Platinum in photos. In person, you can see that the White Platinum has a metallic look to it. These are both colors used on other Ford cars, so you can compare the two at a dealership. I did pay the up-charge for White Platinum, but it was...

One quirk I've found on the FFE is that when the car has finished charging but remains plugged in it will initiate a short charge cycle whenever a door or the hatch is opened. I've got no idea why opening a door would necessitate starting a charge. It will do it repeatedly, each time a door is...

Yes, the Focus does adjust the prediction based on driving style, driving conditions (hills vs. flat, average speed) and probably ambient temperature as well. I've driven a Chevrolet Volt for a bit more than a year and it uses these inputs (Three T's: Technique, Terrain & Temperature) to...

After charging today, my car now shows a predicted range of 103 miles! The range prediction figure has been generally on the rise since I got the car two weeks ago, starting at around 75 miles. What are others seeing?

My car notified me today when I started it up to leave work that "It's Hot Outside... Plug Vehicle in When Not in Use". We are having an early hot spell in KC and it was around the century mark on the thermometer. It's supposed to be about the same every day for the next week - this is June...

The specifications for the FFE indicate that the battery capacity is 23 kW-h. I have also seen reports that the car can actually use about 85% of the battery capacity in order to not cause damage (for comparison, Nissan Leaf is reported to use 87.5%). Does anyone know if the 23 kW-h figure...

Thanks for the help guys! I have discussed the original paint chip problem with Ford and they will be doing a full strip, repaint and bake of the front bumper under warranty. I've been assured that when it is re-installed they will take care of the original incorrect installation of the bumper...

The badging on the FFE (as is most badging these days) is held on using a fairly pliable glue. I used waxed dental floss to cut the glue between the painted surface and the back of the letters. Fishing line can be used instead of dental floss. Applying some moderate heat from a hair dryer...

This is a very good point. Some states are also more strict in enforcement than others - Kansas not so much.

If only I could go to the dealer and see another one...unfortunately, the closest dealer with cars is ~1200 miles away in New Jersey.

Show us your tinted Focus Electric...Here's mine back from the tinter today. This is a 20% tint all around, the direct sun photo makes it look darker than it really is. I also didn't like the size of the "ELECTRIC" badge on the doors, so removed them...

Thanks for the reply. They may all be this way, right or wrong. The rubber seal just below the hood-to-bumper joint does not seal properly and actually sticks out on both ends on mine and I'd call the gap between panels to be excessive. Here is a photo that may show help others understand what...

Could anyone who has received their Focus Electric help me out? My car has a bumper paint problem that was discovered during installation of a clear bra that needs to be fixed before I can get the bra put on the car. When I go talk to Ford about the paint issue I want to cover another topic if...

Curiosity got the better of me, so I took off the foam cover in the engine compartment to see underneath: http://www.flickr.com/photos/79851664@N08/7411030896/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/79851664@N08/7411032576/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/79851664@N08/7411031814/

A spare tire would fit in the hatch area. However, it would take up a significant portion of the cargo area that is already reduced by the battery. You would need to come up with a way to secure the spare tire in the cargo area either horizontally on top of the cargo organizer or vertically in...
